On 23 and 24 February 2026, TH Nürnberg organised its first RoboCup Junior Rescue qualifying tournament at the Technology Transfer Centre Nürnberger Land (TTZ). More than 60 students in 23 teams took part. The competition served as a regional qualifying round for the German Championship, held from 10 to 14 March 2026 in Cologne.

The tournament featured rescue robotics scenarios of varying difficulty. Participants’ self-built robots had to navigate obstacles and search for simulated missing persons. The first day of competition included arrivals, test runs, and initial rounds. On the second day, two further rounds per discipline followed.

Nine of the 23 teams qualified for the German Championship in Cologne. The award ceremony took place in the presence of District Administrator Armin Kroder and the Mayor of Lauf. Several regional companies and institutions provided financial support for the event.
