Summary: In this paper, we introduce RoboKing, a national contest of mobile autonomous robots, dedicated to teams of high school students. RoboKing differs from similar contests by supporting the participating teams with a 250 Euro voucher and by not restricting the kind of materials the robots can be build with. Its task is manageable for students without previous knowledge in robotics but offers enough complexity to be challenging for advanced participants. The first RoboKing contest with 12 participating teams from different parts of Germany took place at the Hannover Messe in 2004. Because of its great success, RoboKing will be held annually. RoboKing 2005 has been extended to 20 teams of pupils and offers a new challenging task. More pictures and video files can be found under www. roboking. de .
