About this event
Mifune Dinosaur Robocon 2026 is a robot competition event geared toward elementary, junior high, and high school students. Combining Mifune Town's attraction of "dinosaurs" with the future-shaping technology of "robot programming," the event aims to nurture future scientists and engineers. Participants build dinosaur-themed walking robots to compete on how far forward they can advance along an approximately 1.9-meter course and how close they can get to the goal. In addition, a design evaluation will assess their understanding of dinosaurs and creativity. This event offers an opportunity to rediscover the town's local charm while learning. On the day, alongside the main robot contest, there will be a reservation-only workshop titled "Control Robots as You Wish," as well as walk-in experience corners titled "Move the Mascot!" and "Build and Play Games!", allowing visitors to enjoy the fun of programming.
