Eurobot is Europe's largest student robotics contest, founded in 1998 by the French organisation Planète Sciences and now drawing over 600 teams from more than 40 countries. Each spring a new themed challenge is published and teams of university students build one or two autonomous robots that compete head-to-head in timed table matches. Robots must complete game-specific tasks entirely autonomously with no human guidance during the match. The challenge is fully reformulated each year, preventing teams from reusing prior-year hardware and demanding fresh engineering solutions. France, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland are historically the strongest performers. The championship finals are held in La Roche-sur-Yon, France each May.
