ESA’s robotic competition on a mock-up of the International Space Station combines do-it-yourself and gaming skills in a robotic race to unload, carry and store cargo. 
Youngsters from ESA Member States, competing in three age groups between 11 and 19 years old, have a wide degree of freedom when making their robots. There are no restrictions and no recommendations – teams can build them from kits available in shops or recycle old parts to make better models, as long as they adhere to safety requirements.
