PFA – the invitation to participate

HSRC is a prestigious annual national-level competition dedicated to promoting STEM education, innovation, and research in robotics across Pakistan. The event features a wide range of modules, including:

Nighttime DRL (New for 2026!)

Drone Line-of-Sight Racing

Drone FPV Racing

RC Planes

LEGO Robotics

All modules include categories for both schools and universities. As per tradition, host teams will not compete against guest teams.

Headstart School is proud to be one of the pioneers of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in Pakistan. Since 2003, our Robotics Program has empowered students to explore creativity, engineering, mechanics, and programming. We are also the licensed body of Pakistan Flying Labs, enabling our students to work on real-world AI, humanitarian robotics, and drone-based problem-solving projects.

Over the years, we have collaborated with some of Pakistan’s leading universities and institutions, including:

CASE – RoboSprint 2014

Sponsors: EME-NUST – National Engineering Robotics Competition (NERC) since 2017

Sponsored: GIKI – IEEE-NEO’18 (Figure 8 LEGO category for schools and universities)

Sponsored: FAST-NUCES – Robowars

Independent Robowars competitions with teams from across Pakistan

Our students have consistently achieved top positions at platforms such as HSRC, NERC, P@SHA ICT Awards, APICTA Awards, WRO, IB Global Youth Action Fund, IEEE-NEO, COMPPEC, NasCon, FLL, RoboSprint, and PSIFI.

Participation in the 9th HSRC 2026 will provide students with an outstanding opportunity to showcase their talent, creativity, and engineering excellence. It will also allow institutions to highlight their students’ innovation, teamwork, and technical skills.

Theme details and registration information will be available on our website by 7th December.

We look forward to welcoming your teams and witnessing an inspiring display of robotics, innovation, and engineering brilliance.
