The eighth annual Robotbattle competition took place in Tartu last weekend (November 1 and 2). More than 2,300 spectators from both Estonia and abroad saw as nearly 300 engineering enthusiasts competed for the title of having Estonia\u2019s best battle robot.<\/p>\n

The competition spanned two days, with Friday dedicated to students and Saturday for seasoned robotics enthusiasts. In the student category, the robots Luts<\/i> and J\u00f5mm<\/i> took first place, each winning a trophy and 1,500 euros in prize money. On Saturday, Kyhvel<\/i> claimed victory in the lightweight division, and The Thing<\/i> triumphed in the heavyweight category, with both winners also receiving 1,500 euros.<\/p>\n

Event organiser Rasmus Rohtla<\/b>, from the AHHAA Science Centre, emphasised the importance of engaging students: “Our mission is to make engineering accessible and exciting. If even a few young participants leave with a passion for engineering, we consider it a success.”<\/p>\n
