NXP CUP

Build intelligent robots on wheels and join Europe’s biggest
Challenge on self-driving DIY model race cars!

Make your own self-driving robot

It’s small. It’s priced right for students. And it runs real-world autonomous car software.

THIS IS NXP CUP. It’s your invitation to make a pro-level autonomous model car. You’ll build, program, and race a model car against other teams for fastest time and precise maneuvering.

The low-cost entry kit comes equipped with NXP components that are used in cars on the road today. All you need is basic embedded software programming and circuitry knowledge – and the willingness to learn!

Just like an autonomous vehicle, your car will sense, think, and act. Using a camera sensor integrated with the motor control system, your vehicle will sense its environment and autonomously navigate and propel through the race course.
