Robotex is an international robotics competition coordinated by Tallinn University of Technology in association with University of Tartu and The Estonian Information Technology College.
Robotex is a project that popularizes engineering sciences and it is mostly addressed to young people. The main motivator of this project is the will to raise interest in young people in technology education. As a result, a sustainable and active student body of successful multidisciplinary (mechanical engineering, information technology, electronics, product design) engineers and functional specialists, who would cope in the field of mechatronics, would form.
Engineering education is one of the most important engines of the country's economy development. It is essential to raise interest in sciences at an early age since changing our habits, values, and mentality is a long-term process. The best way to accomplish it is through various playful methods. This is one means that will ensure Estonia's ability to compete in research and development projects and in production in a wider picture. It is also important to increase cooperation between student science clubs and companies; it is beneficial to both parties. Students/engineers will find a company that would provide them capital or employ their inventions or products. Companies can advertise their own innovative products and find experimenters for their products and technical ideas in the form of robots.
