What is WRO? ===== WRO is an educational robot competition that started in 2004 as an idea of Singapore National Science Center. WRO has grown from its origins in Asia to the Middle East, Europe, North and South America, and Africa, with competitors from 93 countries and regions participating in the 2023 Panama International Competition.
The robots are built using commercially available kits, and teams develop programs to operate autonomously rather than by remote control.
