### Cecyte Altiplano Triumphs at Robomatrix Chile 2024
Tijuana – In an impressive display of talent and innovation, students from Cecyte Altiplano have claimed victory at the Robomatrix Chile 2024 competition held in Chillán, Ñuble region. This achievement further establishes the significance of educational robotics tournaments such as BajaBot and Robomatrix, organized by the Interactive Museum Tijuana and the Latin American Society of Science and Technology (Solacyt).
Building on this success, a new regional robotics tournament, Robomatrix Baja California 2024, will take place on October 11-12 at the Interactive Museum Tijuana, also known as “El Trompo.” Welcoming participants from ages 6 to 25, the competition will feature nine categories: Car Race, Drones, Laberinto, Legosumo, Minisumo, Robofútbol, Open Line Follower, Kit Line Follower, and Sumo RC. Registrations are open until September 30 through the official link: [Robomatrix Registration](https://solacyt.org/plataforma/index.php/registro/concurso/robomatrix).
Fernando Guzmán, head of Solacyt, emphasized the event’s main goal is to promote joy and competition while introducing the Tijuana community to the world of robotics. He extended an open invitation to all educational institutions to participate.
Jorge Kuri Rojo, president of the hosting venue’s board of directors, acknowledged the collaborative efforts and sponsorships that made this event possible. He highlighted the importance of securing essential allies to reach this milestone.
The success of Cecyte Altiplano students in Chile brings honor to the participating teams from Tijuana. Max Fighters and Estelares, the top finalists of Robomatrix Chile 2024, originated from BajaBot 2023. In an intense final showdown, Max Fighters emerged victorious over Estelares in the Robofútbol category.
Rosario Ruiz Camacho, director of El Trompo, praised these young achievers for their dedication and remarkable accomplishments. She encouraged corporate sponsors to continue their support for educational initiatives. Rafael Soto Chávez, mentor of the Cecyte Altiplano robotics teams, underscored the decade-long hard work leading to such triumphant outcomes, emphasizing the importance of engaging students in meaningful projects and competitions.

### Additional Information on Robotics Competitions
As anticipation builds for Robomatrix Baja California 2024, parallels can be drawn to similar competitions worldwide which continue to inspire and cultivate the next generation of roboticists. For instance, the FIRST Robotics Competition, an international high school robotics contest, emphasizes teamwork, innovation, and real-world problem-solving, much like Robomatrix.
In recent news, the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) held its 2023 event in Panama, where teams from over 70 countries competed in various challenges. Similar to Robomatrix, WRO promotes STEM education and the development of essential skills in young learners through competitive events.
Looking ahead, these competitions are set to expand, providing more students with opportunities to engage in robotics and technology, fostering a global community committed to scientific and technological advancements.
