FIRST Robotics Competition · Rijeka

Fast and productive

A small team of high school students aiming to compete at a high level with a tight budget.

Our vision

Success is not about money

We want to show everyone who competes that success does not depend on money and resources, but on passion, effort, and perseverance. We believe that with the right approach and mindset, anyone can achieve their goals, regardless of the conditions they come from.

Over the years we have faced competitors with significantly greater resources, but that has not stopped us from achieving notable results. These experiences have further motivated us to keep improving and to believe in what we do.

Our journey

Our journey of growth and success

The Crobotics team was founded in 2017 at Andrija Mohorovičić High School in Rijeka, on the initiative of student Borna Massari, with the support of Prof. Patricija Nikolaus, Prof. Goran Boneta, and six other students. From the very beginning, the team has continuously developed, bringing together new generations of students and building a community based on knowledge, cooperation, and a passion for robotics.

Backed by world-renowned investors

Of course, participating in competitions costs a lot of money, from buying materials to registration fees and travel expenses. Since our team consists of high school students and two mentors, collecting the funds needed to pay for everything has been hard work. We could do none of it without our renowned investors.
