STORM 2026 is happening now! Check out the 2026 page for live results, updates, and links!

STORM (The Student Tele-Operated Robotics Mission) is an intercollegiate robotics competition for university students. Teams build tele-operated robots capable of navigation, investigation, and interaction.
Control your robot from a separate location using only a WiFi connection. Manage remote navigation, investigation, and interaction tasks.
Choose and integrate sensors creatively, then display collected data to your remote operator in innovative and effective ways.
STORM is designed around affordable robots that can be built using off-the-shelf components. No extensive robotics background is required!
