Registration for The Vertex Swarm Challenge 2026 is officially LIVE!

We are challenging C, Rust, and ROS 2 developers to build the missing TCP/IP for robot swarms. No central orchestrators. No vendor lock‑in.

The Dare

  • Get 2 robots talking in 5 mins.
  • Get 10 coordinating in a weekend.

This is a rigorous systems challenge, not a vaporware demo.

Prizes

  • 🏆 $25,000 in prizes & startup accelerator grants
  • 🦀 Early access to the Vertex 2.0 stack

The future of autonomy is peer‑to‑peer.

Build it here:
