About the Team

Who We Are

Students from ITIS Rossi in Vicenza, Italy. 16-17 year olds passionate about informatics, electronics and robotics.

!WashingMachine is a competitive robotics team from ITIS Rossi in Vicenza. We are students aged 16-17 deeply passionate about informatics, electronics and robotics. We design, wire, program and test every part of our robots ourselves — no off-the-shelf kits.

We've competed in ReplyChallenge, facing 2,000+ teams of AI systems engineers from around the world and placing 23rd globally. We also won 1st place in the Platinum category at the 2025/2026 64k Stunning Running competition.

Team members have participated in the Italian Olympiads of Informatics (OII) and Italian Olympiads of Cybersecurity (OliCyber). In 2025/2026, we placed 1st at the school competitions and qualified for the Italian regionals.

For the next season, we're more determined than ever to win the nationals — and aim for the world finals. Sponsoring us means your brand stands with the next generation of Italian tech talent.
