🎾 WHAT IS WRO DOUBLE TENNIS?

Double Tennis is an exciting head-to-head autonomous robotics competition. Two teams compete in each match, with two autonomous robots from each team operating together on the field.

The robots must identify and push orange balls to the opponent’s side while protecting the purple ball on their own side. They must continuously react to moving balls, changing field conditions and the strategy of the opposing robots—without human control during the match.

​

Students will develop and apply:

• Advanced robot design and programming
• Cameras, sensors and computer vision
• Communication and cooperation between two robots
• Autonomous navigation and field orientation
• Match strategy and real-time decision-making
• Engineering, teamwork and problem-solving skills

​
