Join the Vertex Swarm Challenge 2026

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.

🏆 $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 👇
