Abstract (EN): In this article, a course that explores the potential of learning ROS using a collaborative game world is presented. The competitive mindset and its origins are explored, and an analysis of a collaborative game is presented in detail, showing how some key design features lead participants to overcome the challenges proposed through cooperation and collaboration. The data analysis is supported through observation of two different game simulations: the first, where all competitors were playing solo, and the second, where the players were divided in groups of three. Lastly, the authors reflect on the potentials that this course provides as a tool for learning ROS.
