The Virtual Robot Racing League was founded in June 2020 in Orlando, Florida. The league was founded with three main goals: the primary goal is to promote and develop good coding skills, including reliability, error handling, and flexibility. The secondary goal is to help spurn on the development of next-generation spatial AI. And the final goal is to develop a community of coders who can safely engage in a cooperative and competitive activity both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specialty ClassThe ultimate race of finesse and speed, the specialty class challenge pits AIs of known drone loadouts to navigate a brand new environment faster than any other. |
Omni ClassPrepare yourself for the ultimate test of machine wits in this challenge where AIs are expected to navigate a brand new course with a random and potentially new robotic loadout. AIs in these challenges need to be incredibly versatile to work with all the various permutations. |
Impossible ClassA true test of adaptability and machine learning, the impossible class challenge is just plain unfair. Throwing in intense curveballs that the AIs of the drones have to be able to compensate for, only the most curious and intelligent drones will even be able to make sense of these courses. |
Rover Car
A small ground vehicle with a lot of punch, keeping this guy on-track at top speed will require a very responsive hand at the controls. It's up to the AI to go as fast as possible without running off the road or flipping.
|
Birotor Drone
A small heli-drone with dual rotors, this robot can only thrust in one direction, and has to carefully lean to manage its altitude and speed. The AI will have to keep her steady and carefully float to the goal.
|
Space Plane
A spaceplane designed for microgravity and microatmospheres that controls its movement using a number of onboard, though not necessarily balanced, thrusters. It's up to the AI to keep it from spinning out in space.
