The 2020 season was a very special season. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we had to cancel our competitions in May and June. When the numbers were better, the OC decided to at least hold regional competitions in November. But in October, the numbers got worse again and we had to make a new plan: Without further ado, we held the WRO 2020 as an online competition. This was a completely new challenge for teams, coaches and helpers, but we are sure that it was the best possible solution for the teams under the given circumstances.
The theme of the 2020 WRO season is: CLIMATE SQUAD!
In 2020, your team will function as a “Climate Squad”. Regular Category teams are developing robots that enable us to adapt and overcome the increasingly frequent effects of climate change. Open Category teams will develop robotic solutions to help tackle climate challenges. Look forward to the final tasks in January. The tasks will be published on January 15, 2020 at 10:00 a.m.

Junior 2020
“Snowstorm”
Introduction
A snowstorm has hit a city that has never had to deal with winter weather conditions before. The population is not prepared for such a situation. Cars have broken down on the road and black ice is making the roads slippery. The city council has called in your “Climate Squad” to help eliminate the problems and restore normal conditions.
In the Junior age group, you build a robot to restore normal conditions in the city. The robot has to push snow, recover broken-down cars and spread grit on the road. Be careful not to damage the trees in the process.

“Rising Water”
Introduction
Rising sea levels are increasing the pressure on dykes designed to protect residential areas that are below sea level. An alarm system has just informed you that two dikes are leaking and threatening to break. Your robot is parachuted into the affected area to solve the problem.
In the Senior age group, you build a robot to find the leaking dikes and seal them. At the same time, houses are to be protected with sandbags and residents informed of the imminent evacuation.
