Riders was launched in May 2020 in Istanbul, Turkey through its parent hardware robotics company Acrome. Riders is a fully virtual robotics and coding competition and teaching platform. The mission of Riders is to make robotics and coding competitions more accessible. Riders is striving to make it easier for underserved communities to participate in educational competitions and learn the fundamentals behind robotics and coding.

Riders has created three unique competitions for Maker Faire Rome including a Drone Flying Race and a beginner and advanced Line Follower Race for attendees to participate in. The competitions cater to both beginner and advanced programmers. The goal behind the Drone Flying Race and the Line Follower Race is for competitors to use their coding skills to design an algorithm that navigates a course and achieves a score. The winner is the person who achieves the highest score, and the winners of all three competitions will be awarded valuable prizes.
