Dear Robot Drone League Competitors,
Welcome to the 2026-27 Robot Drone League Challenge: EMERGENCY!! Urban Rescue. Every year, the Robot Drone League is built around real-world careers and real-world challenges. This season, we turn our attention to the extraordinary men and women who run toward danger when everyone else is running away, our firefighters, emergency medical personnel, law enforcement officers, search and rescue teams, utility crews, engineers, emergency management professionals, and healthcare providers.
When disaster strikes, whether it is a devastating fire, a structural collapse, hazardous materials incident, cyberattack on critical infrastructure, or a large-scale natural disaster, communities depend on highly trained professionals working together with one common mission: save lives, protect property, and restore hope.
Today, those professionals increasingly rely on advanced technology to accomplish that mission. Robots enter environments too dangerous for humans. Drones provide critical aerial intelligence, deliver life-saving supplies, inspect damaged infrastructure, and assist with search and rescue operations. Artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, communications networks, and skilled technicians all work together to make emergency response faster, safer, and more effective.
Your Mission Starts Now!
It’s time to test your engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. You’ll need to design, build, and refine your robotic and drone systems to accomplish mission-critical tasks in this simulated urban disaster environment. The city's safety depends on innovation, precision, and collaboration— qualities that will define your team’s success.
We challenge you to push the limits of technology and strategy. Your team becomes the emergency response team.
Good luck, teams! The EMERGENCY!! Urban Rescue challenge begins now!
