RoboCup Junior Soccer Open
RoboCup is the world's largest autonomous robotics competition, bringing together over 4,000 participants from 40+ countries. In the Junior Soccer Open league, high school teams build fully autonomous robots that play competitive soccer matches—completely hands-free.
We're working toward the European Championships (June 2026) and World Championships (July 2026).

What You Get
Brand Visibility & Recognition
Logo placement on our shirts, the robots, live robot demonstrations, and media exposure at international competitions.
Content & Marketing Collaboration
Co-branded case studies, tutorial videos featuring your components, and social media content. We'll create technical explanations showcasing your products in action.
Innovation Testing Lab
Test your prototype sensors/motors in our competitive environment with detailed performance feedback, validation data, and real-world stress testing.
Young Engineer Access
Direct collaboration with motivated high school engineers already building competition-level autonomous systems and winning national recognition. We can come to live demonstrations of these technologies.
Our current capabilities
Our new plan for reaching reliability
A system inspired from Aerospace engineering
After our recent failiures the day of the national competition, we realised that we needed to rethink our systems rather than just making better robots. We took engineering principles from one of the most safety-oriented domains in the world: aeronautics.
Independent System Validation
Every subsystem tested independently by team members who didn't build it. Components must perform 3x above requirements over hundreds of test cycles before integration.
Requirements-First Development
Quantified performance standards before deeming it robot-worthy. Example: "robot maintains 1m/s speed in 1m circle for 100+ cycles without failure" measured and verified extensively before adding other systems such as the camera.
Root Cause Analysis & Redesign
When failures occur, we document everything, identify core issues, then redesign systems entirely rather than simply fixing. We often fixed the robots rather than redesigning them because we lacked time.
Technical Innovation
Complete documentation, CAD files, code, and performance data
360° Vision System
Custom mathematical algorithms create cone shapes for uniform field mapping - giving us major advantages over standard distorted mirrors.
Cone Design RepositoryAutonomous AI
Real-time computer vision for ball tracking, goal identification, and strategic decision-making while moving at competitive speeds.
AI Code RepositoryCustom Electronics
Everything designed and built by our team: PCBs, battery management, mechanical components.
The Team
Three aspiring engineers who have designed and built competition-level autonomous systems from scratch. Students from Lycée Gustave Eiffel in Bordeaux.
Kaïto
Hardware systems engineer: custom PCB design, precision manufacturing, CNC machining, component integration, and power management.
Chloé
Integration specialist: electronics assembly, system testing, competition logistics, and performance optimization under pressure.
Sacha
AI systems architect: computer vision algorithms, autonomous decision-making, real-time strategy implementation, and team communications.
