About the challenge

MakerHacks is happening on February 1-2 in downtown San Francisco. It is the US's first pre-collegiate robotics hackathon, and the first overnight hackathon in the Bay Area for the 2024-25 hacking season. 

It's fully hardware centered and high-schooler only. We'll be releasing a robotics game & field for one of the tracks (similar to FIRST/VEX) where hackers will design and rapidly iterate remote controlled/autonomous robots to solve this engineering design challenge.

There will be:

• world-class workshops on mechanical design, programming, and integration
• a 3D print farm for rapid iteration & prototyping
• large assortment of components (microcontrollers, servos, sensors)
• plenty of qualified mentors + curriculum to guide the engineering design process
• prizes consisting of 3D printers (we're giving the whole farm away), hardware kits, gaming gear, & cash.

• Abstract Strategy [ROBOTICS CHALLENGE]
  How unique (and effective) was your robot in this engineering design challenge? Did you take an unconventional approach to the game and carry it out?
• Mechanical Complexity [ROBOTICS CHALLENGE]
  To what degree was the intricacy of your mechanical systems? Did it operate effectively and did you integrate all systems into a fluid robot?
• Autonomous Routine [ROBOTICS CHALLENGE]
  How effectively could your robot operate autonomously? How complex were the processes in which the robot received input and consequently made decisions?
