Questions & Answers

Ready, Set, Robotics! is a company that designs simple, affordable robotics games for schools and other educational settings. We provide the rules, materials, and tools you need to run a competitive robotics experience without the cost of a traditional league.

Educators of all kinds — classroom teachers, robotics club leaders, camp staff, homeschool co-ops, and library or makerspace programs. Our games are designed so you can run them even without a robotics background.

No. Our games welcome first-timers while still offering plenty of challenge for experienced students. Difficulty can be adjusted based on your time, materials, and students' skill levels.

You can use the robots and platforms you already have — VEX, LEGO, Arduino-based kits, and other classroom systems all work, as long as they can move and interact with the game pieces. We don't sell robots.

Traditional robotics competitions often charge steep registration and membership fees on top of equipment costs. Our games skip those fees entirely — you buy the game materials once and run it as many times as you like, building the field from classroom supplies or affordable pieces.

No. Each game is designed to be built from common classroom materials, with printable setup instructions. Some games offer optional physical kits or 3D-printable files if you'd like more polished pieces, but they're never required.

Our first game is Cup Conquest, a middle school robotics tournament. You can find it on the Games page. We're actively working on more games for different grade levels and formats.

Yes — some games include an optional digital Scorekeeper for live scoring, rankings, and playoff brackets. Printable score sheets are always available too, so the digital tool is never required.
