Multiplayer sandbox game on the Roblox platform where players build and program robots

Robot World is a multiplayer robotics sandbox game on the Roblox platform developed in collaboration with FIRST Robotics. Players build and operate robots in an open-ended environment, utilizing these machines to compete in team-based challenges. This experience translates the structure of robotics tournaments into a digital workspace, allowing players to collaborate and compete through robotic design and programming.

Learning focus

Robotics Engineering, Iterative Design, Cooperative Competition, Modular Construction

GAME FEATURES

Build robots from modular components

Construct robots within a personal build zone using classic robot parts.

Configure and control robot behavior

Design your robot's moves before entering competitive play.

Compete in multiplayer team matches

Go head-to-head in team-based sports-inspired challenges.

Explore open-ended sandbox play

Experiment with designs and strategies across varied challenges.

Core Learning Outcomes:
  • Apply engineering design through robot construction
  • Practice problem solving in competitive, team-based scenarios
  • Understand how programming choices affect robot behavior
  • Experience project-based learning through iterative design and play
Why This Project Matters

Hands-on robotics experiences can be difficult to access due to cost and logistics. Robot World brings the excitement and collaborative learning of FIRST Robotics competitions to a widely accessible platform, helping more learners engage with engineering and programming through play.
