UWB Hacks 2026

How RoRadar was Born

RoRadar won first place at University of Washington Bothell's 2026 Hackathon (Human Experience Track). We competed against over four hundred other developers to build the best project to address the needs of individuals and small groups in the modern day.

As three college students born in the late 2000s, we grew up with Roblox. Almost all of us have accounts over 10 years old! As we've gotten older, we see all the time in media how Roblox has become a platform that isn't always safe for kids who were just like us. With so many stories popping up about grooming and child exploitation on Roblox, we decided to make a tool that makes predatory activity more visible to concerned parents.

About RoRadar

A parental awareness tool for Roblox safety review.

RoRadar was built around a critical problem: parents hear all the time about the dangers of roblox, but they do not know where the risk actually is. They need to be able to see whether those games, friend networks, or community spaces have already raised safety concerns elsewhere.

The project turns scattered platform signals into a single report that helps a parent decide when to take a closer look, refresh an assessment, or have a conversation before a problem escalates.

Project focus

Millions of young Roblox users.

Moderation that is often reactive.

Parents who need readable context, not raw data.

Audit Friends Lists
RoRadar reviews account-age patterns, username signals, and possibly predatory network behavior to surface friends that deserve a closer look.
Evaluate Game Safety
The platform combines Roblox metadata, community context, online discussion, and risk thresholds to flag games with suspicious signals.
Generate Parent Reports
Parents get a readable summary that explains what was flagged and why it matters.

Method

How RoRadar approaches risk
Roblox profile and connection network analysis
Game-level metadata and public association
Community-sourced warning signals and discussion context
Human-readable reports built for parents, not moderators
