Our robotics team started with Angiru-Bot, since then, we have worked on several projects for the benefit of our community, working with society, companies and organizations, facing communication barriers, the impacts of climate change and the sustainability of agriculture and correct management of resources.

Our first steps as a team began in the Cargo Connect 2021-2022 season of the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE , where we became national champions to represent the country at the World Festival in Houston, USA, that same year. An experience that allowed us to establish friendly ties with teams from other parts of the world and grow with them in the STEAM areas. In the Superpowered 2022-2023 season, we renamed ourselves Robot’i with the campaign “Connecting the community with robotics.” We work on an energy management system with Artificial Intelligence called GuaranIA. Although we did not achieve the expected results, this experience motivated us to continue creating projects focused on community needs. Competing under the name Tesla1 in the national robotics league, we excelled in the design category, allowing us to represent Paraguay at the Vex World Championship in Dallas, demonstrating our creativity and technical prowess. Then, as Tesla Space, we undertook a stratospheric mission to study heat domes in Paraguay, winning a stratospheric mission competition and providing valuable data for farmers and the community. This mission exemplifies our ability to apply robotics and programming knowledge in scientific research.

Currently, we are preparing for the 2024 FIRST Global Challenge Athens as Tecno Tesla. Thanks to a Bootcamp, we won the opportunity to represent Paraguay in this Olympiad, highlighting our dedication and skill in international competitions.

Thank you to our supporters!
