# Robotics Competition The Student Robotics Competition Programme is the main activity of Student Robotics and is how it currently meets its charitable objective set out in its [constitution](https://github.com/srobo/ops-manual/tree/d76377192d4c94c4bd4298f0f3954f5d342af24b/resources/constitution.pdf). It consists of an annual programme, aligned with the academic year, where teams of 16-19 year-olds (generally in sixth form) take part in an reasonably open-ended engineering challenge to construct autonomous robots. The planning, management and delivery of the competition programme is the remit of the [Competition Team](https://github.com/srobo/ops-manual/tree/91ae10cc670c971d667dd54caf90d0295747bc4c/annual-robotics-competition/competition-team.md) and it is up to the Competition Team Committee (with guidance from the Trustees) to define the programme for a given annual cycle. The Competition Team is supported by the [Kit Team](/v6.1.0/annual-robotics-competition/kit-team.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
