The Farm Robotics Challenge is a student engineering design competition focused exclusively on real-world, on-farm solutions in robotics, artificial intelligence and automation. Open to secondary students (grades 7–12) and students at two-year colleges and four-year universities, the program challenges teams to work directly with farmers, identify pressing agricultural problems, and design, build and field-test solutions. The California AgTech Alliance is providing over $50,000 for first-, second- and third-place teams across the three divisions, with the first-place Division I team earning a $25,000 prize and startup assistance. Registration and project proposals are due November 13, 2026.
