There are more and more electric cars on our roads, and in many places a new infrastructure is being built to be able to charge these cars in time. Since charging an electric car currently takes several hours and cannot be done in a few minutes at the gas station, new ways have to be found. One idea is to charge the cars while they are standing in a parking lot. In an intelligent parking garage of the future, a robot organizes the parking of the cars and brings electric or hybrid vehiclesa battery to charge. 

This is the task of the robot on the junior playing field. The robot needs to pick up vehicles at the entrance of the parking garage and bring them to the correct parking space, depending on the type of vehicle. After that, the robot needs to distribute batteries for charging hybrid and electric vehicles.

  • Measures 45" (114.3 cm) x 92.99" (236.2 cm)


At World Robot Olympiad, it is our mission to give as many young people all the opportunity to develop their creativity and problem solving skills in a fun and engaging way. We do this by organizing robotics competitions. Each season we have a new theme and we have challenges that are tailored to the age of the participants. Starting as low as 6 or 7 years old up to University level.


Today, over 80,000 children age 6 through 25 participate in WRO local tournaments held in over 75 member countries. Teams compete at the local and national level for the opportunity to travel to the WRO International Final, which takes place in a different country each year. 

Season Theme: PowerBots -- The Future of Energy

In 2021, your team will be looking at the challenges that come with using more energy from renewable sources. Teams in the Regular Category will build and program robots that modernize the energy use of a house, assist with charging cars in a parking garage and help manage the energy mix on the grid.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
