The Ploiești City Hall and the Ploiești Local Council support the robotics team of the „Ion Luca Caragiale” National College, infO(1)Robotics, which will participate in the 2026 World Robotics Championship, an event taking place in Houston, United States of America, between 29.04-02.05 this year.
The municipality will cover the cost of the plane tickets to facilitate the Ploiești team’s access to this elite educational competition. The funding, in the amount of 110,985 lei, will be provided from the local budget.
The World Robotics Championship brings together teams from around the world, selected exclusively on the basis of outstanding performances during the FIRST Tech Challenge season.
The Ploiești team infO(1)Robotics has stood out, in recent years, through exceptional results in national and international specialised competitions, demonstrating not only solid technical skills, but also team spirit, creativity, and perseverance.
We recall here the Judges Award – Blast of Energy, won in 2022 in this world-class competition.
Also, this year, at the national stage of the FIRST Tech Challenge Romania competition, the team of the „Ion Luca Caragiale” National College won the Inspire Award 2 prize.
We wish the members of the infO(1)Robotics team great success and we are proud to stand by them in this special experience!
