Welcome to the Future of RECF STEM Competitions
The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation is proud to announce RECF Robotics, our
official robotics competition for the 2026–2027 season. The robots, game elements, robot parts,
and the countless hours your teams have invested all remain fully usable in RECF Robotics.
This is our most ambitious program yet: a broader competition ecosystem with new 3D-printing
pathways, updated event management software, and more ways for your teams to compete.
And we built it on a simple commitment to you — everything your students have already created
carries forward.
You can expect exactly what you’ve come to rely on from RECF: the same caliber of events,
the same competitive intensity, and it will all culminate in St. Louis, Missouri, for the 2027 RECF
STEM World Championship!
The Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF) is authorized to organize, promote,
