ZYRO 2026 is a 24-hour offline hardware robotics hackathon focused on building real-world, impact-driven robotic systems aligned with the theme:

“Sustainable Future with Robotics.”

Unlike typical hackathons, ZYRO emphasizes hardware-integrated innovation. Participants must develop solutions involving electronics, microcontrollers, sensors, automation systems, AI integration, and functional physical prototypes.

During the 24-hour build phase, teams will:

• Build solutions from scratch
• Integrate hardware components
• Push code to public repositories
• Demonstrate working prototypes
• Participate in mid-evaluations and final jury presentations

Solutions that do not involve hardware interaction or physical implementation will not qualify.
