Experiences
90–120 minutes | 6 to 6,000 participants | Indoor or outdoor venues
The Robot Rally Challenge! is a fully facilitated, hands-on corporate team building event that combines robotics engineering, strategic competition, and collaborative problem-solving. Participants work in teams of 6–8 to build and customize their own robots, then pit them against one another in a high-energy rally finale featuring unique games such as Cyborg Soccer, Mine Sweep, and Future Joust. This program is designed for corporate groups, company retreats, large conferences, holiday parties, and team offsites seeking an engaging, technology-driven experience that boosts creativity, communication, and strategic thinking.
What is Included
- All robot kits and customization materials – no additional purchases required
- 1 dedicated host to energize and coordinate the entire event
- 1 professional facilitator per 20–30 attendees for hands-on guidance, challenge supervision, and rally refereeing
- Interactive icebreaker to split participants into teams (for groups of 80+, a wrist-band technique ensures efficient organization)
- Full set of strategic challenges: teams split into builders and competitors – some members assemble the robot while others earn munitions and battlements through fast-paced activities
- Robot Rally finale with refereed competitions (robot design, speed, and agility are tested)
- 1st place medals; for groups over 75 participants, 2nd and 3rd place accolades are also awarded
Team Formation & Program Structure
The event opens with a high-energy icebreaker that divides participants into teams. Once formed, each team of 6–8 members divides into two groups: one builds and programs the robot, while the other competes in a series of timed, mind-stimulating challenges to earn strategic advantages for the final rally. This split-task model ensures every participant stays actively involved, regardless of prior robotics experience.
Hands-On Robotics & Engineering Challenges
Experiential learning is at the core of every activity. Teams receive complete robot kits and customization gear to reflect their team identity. Facilitators provide expert instruction on robot assembly and basic programming, while strategic puzzles help teams develop coordinated robot maneuvers and battle tactics. The challenges are crafted to inspire creativity, collaboration, and quick decision-making under pressure.
The Ultimate Robot Rally Competition
The program culminates in a thrilling robot rally where teams face off in a series of games. Cyborg Soccer requires precise control and teamwork; Mine Sweep tests navigation and risk assessment; Future Joust pits robots in head-to-head combat. The rally demands strong strategy, on-the-fly adjustments, and effective execution to win. Teams that combine smart tactics with well-built robots have the best chance of taking the top spot.
Event Types & Venues
The Robot Rally Challenge! is ideal for corporate team building events, company retreats, all-hands meetings, annual conferences, client appreciation gatherings, and large institutional groups such as universities and associations. It works equally well indoors (hotel ballrooms, convention centers, warehouses) and outdoors (parks, corporate campuses, resort lawns). Full portability of materials means the event can be set up in nearly any flat, safe space.
