Kawagoe festival is the traditional Japanese festival that is held in Kawagoe, Saitama, where multiple "Dashi's", or floats, move around the city center with music and dance on each of them. We have decided to simulate this festival by using small simple robot kits and to hold a robot contest for high school students. This event includes preparatory seminars and contest itself, and students plan their ideas in the technical part and artistic part of robot design. The purpose of this contest is to let high students know the traditional Japanese culture as well as to get technical interests on robots. This paper reports the philosophy of holding a robot contest for high school students, technical rules and regulations, as well as some considerations of this event.
