The RCJA Australian Open runs over two and a half days each year. This event is a great opportunity for students to collaborate, share ideas, and draw inspiration from others around the country.
The event is open to everyone. You don’t need to qualify at a regional or state event, and international teams are welcome to attend. Each challenge runs the full range of divisions, allowing everybody to participate at their preferred level.
The RCJA Australian Open serves as the qualification event for the RoboCup Junior International competition. Teams from overseas are reminded that they cannot use this event to qualify for the international competition – they must do so at their own local event.
