The RoboNexus World Championship is a student-led international robotics competition hosted by King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. University teams of 3 to 5 students design and build a robot for one of three arenas: Combat Robotics (robots up to 27 kg), Tactical Capture the Flag (two robots per side) and Advanced Sumo (robots up to 20 kg, with autonomous and manual phases). The organisers list more than $100,000 in cash prizes and cover flights, robot shipping and accommodation for qualifying teams. Team registration closes on 15 November 2026. The championship runs alongside a public robotics expo with an exhibition, interactive activities and talks; the organisers have not yet said how visitors can attend.
