In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward the use of educational robots to foster interest in STEAM and support collaborative learning. On the other hand, competitions are considered to be powerful incentives for humans to become strongly involved in a specific topic. In particular, in robotics, several competitions have been proposed in the context of Open Robotics where teams must create their own robots and test them in proposed environments. In this work, we present a new competition for a robot where a volcano scenario is used as a support for the activity, explaining the objectives and why using this scenario can be an interesting challenge for the educational robotics activity.
