The Robosoutěž final, held on Friday, December 12, delivered plenty of thrilling moments. From 11 a.m., spectators in the Zenger Lecture Hall at FEE CTU and viewers of the online stream could watch a series of 90-second robotic duels on specially designed arenas, in which robots attempted to complete their task as efficiently as possible. This year’s challenge, aptly titled Tetris, required robots to assemble five classic types of game blocks into the largest possible continuous field.
The Best Tetris Robot Is from Nový PORG in Prague
“This year’s Robosoutěž was one of the most demanding to date, yet it also brought an incredible number of original solutions that surprised even me personally,” says Martin Hlinovský from the Department of Control Engineering at FEE CTU, the competition’s chief organizer.
“Each team approached the task differently, and no two solutions were alike. Thanks to that, the entire competition had a very calm and conflict-free atmosphere. That is precisely why we are now considering using a similar type of challenge in next year’s edition for elementary schools.” In addition to the results of the final runs, a separate award for best Robot Design was presented based on a vote by a panel of experts. This prize went to the robot built by team Gyrotechnici.

And the Prize for the Winners? Admission to FEE CTU Without Entrance Exams
This year’s Robosoutěž at FEE CTU also stood out for the diversity of its competition platforms. In addition to several variants of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® and LEGO® Education SPIKE™, student teams could use the brand-new BRIAN robotics kit, introduced to the market under the auspices of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering by the Robosoutěž organizing team itself. Teams could also opt for the OPEN-CUBE control unit developed at the Department of Measurement at FEE CTU.
The spring and autumn editions of the 2025 Robosoutěž were held under the auspices of FEE CTU and the competition’s general partner, BTL Medical Development. Other partners included MathWorks, HUMUSOFT, Škoda Auto, SICK, Strand, and Applifting. In addition to material prizes provided by these partners, the winning teams also received a “blank check” for studying the Cybernetics and Robotics programme, meaning that all team members are eligible for admission to FEE CTU without having to pass entrance examinations.
