The competition, which begins September 15, 2026, calls for prototypes using genuine Arduino products that sense, judge, and act upon real-world information. Submissions are open until November 24 and will be judged in two stages, with finalists presenting on January 31, 2027. Winners will receive prizes including Arduino's new VENTUNO Q, which features a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8. AI
