Welcome to the exhilarating world of the Western Australian Robotics Playoffs (WARP).

‍
Perth’s very own FIRST robotics offseason event, the Western Australian Robotics Playoffs is a pulse-racing, high-octane 3 v 3 robotics competition that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Not just a local event, but a mirror of the globally celebrated FIRST robotics competition, WARP offers Western Australian schools a unique and thrilling opportunity to participate in an international robotics challenge and gives members of the public a chance to watch the competition and have fun at the sideshow attractions.

WARP is more than just a competition, it’s an arena where innovation, teamwork, and technical skills collide. It’s not just about the quest for victory, but the journey of discovery, invention, and collaboration. It’s a chance for our youth to tap into their potential, to learn and grow, to foster a spirit of teamwork, and to develop a passion for robotics and technology.

WARP is based on the FIRST Robotics Competition. Every year the challenge changes, releasing a new and exciting “game” in early January for students to design a robot for. The 2025 game “Reefscape” is a fast-paced arts themed challenge requiring teams to manipulate “coral” onto the “reef” and remove “algae” all while avoiding their opposition.  

In addition to WARP, we will have our family fun Side Show Alley. Entertainment includes sheep shearing demonstrations, a cuddly animal farm, face painting, tractor, VR experiences, Lego® brick building and food trucks. Sunday only, meet Shane and Di from Channel 9’s Lego Masters and enter the Lego® brick building competition to win cool Lego® brick kit prizes.

Entry, coffee and all activities are free. Fees apply for the food trucks.

23 and 24 August 2025. 10:00-16:00. Curtin Stadium, Kent Street. Free parking on site or easily accessible via public transport.
