Hi Builder,
We're beyond excited to share that registrations are now closed, and we received over 500 applications.
📋 Choose your track
Now it's time to pick where you'll be building. Below are the five tracks at the hackathon. Read through them carefully, then fill out the form at the bottom.
AI Track: "The All-in-One Dashboard for Robotic Founders"
Sponsored by n8N, Lovable & Apify
Technical founders spend too much time on things that should run themselves. Build a dashboard that fixes that. One dashboard to rule the business side of a robotics startup, automated end to end with n8N, Lovable, and Apify.
Normacore Track: "AI-Powered Robot Control"
Integrate the Station API into Codex or Claude so that it can control the robot by looking through the cameras.
Hugging Face Track: "Desk Hero"
Solve a simple everyday problem on your desk using LeRobot and any robot you want.
ITQ Track: "Autonomous Detection and Collection of Bottle Caps with Computer Vision"
Complete the parkour within 5 minutes, avoid collisions with obstacles, collect as many bottle caps as possible. The final score is based on collected caps, completion time, and safe navigation.
MyBotShop Track: "Quadruped Startup Founder"
Conceptualize and pitch a startup idea built around quadruped robots. Whether it's inspection, search & rescue, agriculture, logistics, or any other domain. show us how you envision legged robotics reshaping industries.
For this track, as we only have one quadruped, we will select the best pitch, which later on the hackathon will be the team using the hardware.

A couple of things before you fill it out:
• Coming as a team? Only one person per team should fill out the form, specifically, whoever completed the original team registration form.
• Coming solo? Just pick your track and we'll assign you to a team in advance. This applies especially to robotics tracks.
Once you've selected your track, you'll receive more details about what to expect, what hardware will be available, and a Notion page with all the information you need to hit the ground running.
📅 What happens next
In the coming days, before the hackathon, we'll announce which teams have been accepted and which tracks they've been placed in. We wish we could take everyone, but spots are limited, and we'll do our best to make it fair.
If you're not selected this time, we hope to see you at the next one.
