ANNOUNCEMENT: WARP is taking a hiatus in 2024. The program will return in the fall of 2025 with new features and opportunities for teams. In the meantime, feel free to look through the archive and play a past game with your team!
Savage Soccer is now WARP, the WPI Annual Robotics Preseason. WARP is a robotics program that can be used and adapted by schools and groups to help their students learn more about engineering, design, and robotics through fun competition. WARP began as a team-building activity for the WPI/Mass Academy FIRST Robotics team in 1995 and has since grown to be a national competition with events at several sites throughout the country.
One of the goals of WARP is to keep events affordable for both participating teams and those running the event. Event registration will always be free.
Each year, WPI students work to develop a new game for the WARP competitors and organize a large tournament on campus. Several other venues around the country use that or previous s game to run a tournament in their local area. The event uses the same basic field structure year-to-year with new challenges and game pieces that can be created inexpensively.
While this site focuses on the main WARP event held annually at WPI in Worcester, MA. Anyone interested in finding out more information on the game, field, rules, other event information, or starting their own event can use this site to get information or contact us directly (rrc@wpi.edu) to learn more.
