The OECS Super Regional Robotics Challenge 2026 stands as the premier robotics and STEAM competition for the Eastern Caribbean—bringing together students, educators, and innovators from across OECS Member States.
Central to the success of this initiative is the role of the coach. Coaches are not just supervisors; they are mentors, safety leaders, and champions of ethical, student-driven innovation. The 2026 Coach’s Manual sets out the standards, responsibilities, and best practices required to guide teams toward excellence while maintaining fairness, safety, and professionalism.
The manual provides clear guidance on:
✔️ Coach roles & responsibilities
✔️ Team formation & eligibility
✔️ Robot build and programming standards
✔️ Safety, conduct & media protocols
✔️ Competition flow, judging & scoring
This Challenge is more than a competition — it is a regional platform for developing future engineers, programmers, and innovation leaders, while strengthening collaboration and unity across the OECS.
OECSRA encourages all registered coaches and national partners to prepare early, lead with integrity, and empower students to compete at international standards.
Together, we are advancing Caribbean innovation through robotics and STEAM.
