The article presents the experience of preparing and conducting an online robotic competition in a virtual environment. This approach allows you to cover remote participants in the competition, including those in different countries, based on the use of a robot model control simulator based on programming. Competitors get the opportunity to creatively apply programming skills in an applied robotic environment for various models of virtual robots and their control areas.
