Representing the Maldives,a nation of coral islands, fragile ecosystems, and approximately 99% ocean,Team Maldives brings together young innovators who are passionate about using robotics and technology to build a more sustainable future.

Although large-scale wildfires are rare in the Maldives, fires can still affect vegetation, buildings, waste sites, and other limited land areas. As a low-lying island nation facing coastal erosion, flooding, rising sea levels, and threats to coral reef ecosystems, Team Maldives 2026 understands the importance of environmental protection, disaster preparedness, and resilient communities. Inspired by the 2026 FIRST Global Challenge theme, the team believes that robotics, automation, sensors, and intelligent systems can help address environmental challenges and support communities.

This year’s team brings together diverse talents in coding, robot design, construction, driving, testing, research, and communication. Each member contributes creativity, technical ability, and a shared passion for STEM. More than simply competing with a robot, Team Maldives represents innovation, collaboration, and global learning, while demonstrating that young people from small island nations can contribute meaningful ideas to protect communities and the planet.
