Sports are a part of everyday life for many of us. I also occasionally play football and table tennis in my colony. Just for fun, nothing more. But almost every time we play a little longer than usual, my friends say, “We’ll get scolded at home.” There is always a feeling that spending too much time playing is not fully accepted, because it takes time away from academics. Apart from football and table tennis, I also play a lot with robots. In fact, I spend much more time on robotics—long evenings, busy weekends, thinking, building, testing, failing, and trying again. But my parents never questioned that time. In fact, I was encouraged. That made me think. Why is playing on a field often seen as a distraction from studies, while spending even more time with robots is seen as something useful? If both need teamwork, effort, and passion, then what is really the difference? There was another interesting thing I noticed. While I was actually “playing” with robots, everyone around me saw it as “working.” But for me, robotics never felt like studying. It felt like play. I could explore ideas, try new things, and learn without fear. In my earlier book, Play to Purpose: Stepping into the World of Robotics, I wrote about robotics competitions. These are competitions where teams build robots to solve specific challenges. During the competitions, teams may form alliances and compete against one another. I described how these competitions are a great way to learn about robotics, teamwork, and problem-solving. As I got more involved in robotics competitions, I started noticing something that felt familiar. The excitement before a match, the pressure during it, the happiness of winning, and the disappointment of losing – it all felt surprisingly similar to playing a sport. There was preparation, teamwork, quick decisions, and trust. And yet, robotics competitions are rarely called a sport. This question stayed with me. What really defines a sport? Is it only physical effort, or does it also involve discipline, competition, and mindset? And if robotics does not fully fit into the usual definition, what does it have in common with sports, and what remains different? The more I thought about these questions, the more I realized there were no simple answers. That curiosity became the reason for writing this book. I invite you to join me as we explore whether robotics competitions are truly a sport, something different, or perhaps a new kind of competition that deserves its own place. Whether you are a student, a parent, an educator, a sports enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys asking interesting questions, I hope this book encourages you to look at robotics competitions from a new perspective.
