Understand mechanics
Drive base, wheels, pneumatics, sensors and robust construction principles instead of random trial-and-error builds.
30 October – 1 November 2026 · Roggwil / BE
⚡ Limited pilot places · reserve nowFrustrating runs become stable robot runs.
The three-day hands-on workshop for WRO and FLL teams that want to improve mechanics, software and strategy in a focused way.
- Mechanics that hold up
- Software that stays understandable
- Strategy that wins points
Why LeRo?
When the robot works in training — and suddenly fails in competition.
Robotics competitions often look simple at first. But especially for beginner teams, frustration comes quickly: too many construction variants, too many software ideas and too few stable runs.
At the LeRo Workshop, we bring together practical knowledge from sports robotics, mechatronics, software development and coaching. The goal is not theory for its own sake, but solutions teams can use directly in training and competition.
Structure software
Break down missions cleanly, keep variants manageable and track development states with GitHub.
Sharpen strategy
Prioritize missions, identify risks and use training time in a way that leads to more points.
What is a LeRo Workshop?
Three days, one goal: help teams make better decisions faster.
The pilot workshop is aimed at robotics team members, coaches and advanced participants who want to exchange experience and discover new construction or programming strategies.

Topics
Practical areas that really count in competition.
The content is designed as a workshop framework and can be deepened depending on team level and competition experience.
Mechanics
- Mechanical tips & tricks
- Drive base, wheels and traction
- LEGO pneumatics
- 3rd-party servos and sensors
Software
- EV3 and SPIKE platforms
- Comparing software frameworks
- Programming strategies
- Tracking development states with gitHub
Team & coaching
- Key challenges in teamwork
- Roles and team development
- Practical coaching questions
- Networking with other teams
After the workshop
You go home with more than ideas — you leave with a clearer way forward.
- You know functional mechanics strategies.
- You can break down missions strategically.
- You can package software problems more cleanly.
- You know different frameworks and platforms.
- You build your network with teams and coaches.
- And of course: plenty of fun is part of it.

FAQ
Quick answers for interested teams.
Which competitions is the workshop designed for?
The pilot focuses on WRO and FLL. Future workshops can be intentionally kept open for other competition formats such as EuroBot or FTC.
Do participants already need to be advanced?
No. Beginner teams benefit from structure and fundamentals; advanced teams can work specifically on mechanics, software, strategy and exchange.
Is the workshop also suitable for coaches?
Yes. Coaches are explicitly addressed, especially when they repeatedly face similar team, technical or strategy questions.
