GOAL

The goal of the Robot Athletes is to autonomously follow the black line on the white field of the track within 3 minutes in the shortest possible time. The best time reveals the winners.

 

TEAM - COACH

1. Teams and not individuals participate in the Games.

2. Each group can consist of two (2) – three (3) people.

3. Each team should nominate up to 1 Robot Athlete Technician. Only the Robot Athlete Technician is allowed in the waiting area or playing area. The rest of the team will remain in the team area or watch the game from the audience. If a team does not adhere to the above rule and its members roam the field then the team will be disqualified.

4. The team is allowed to change technicians in every attempt it makes on the track in order for all the members of the team to engage in the sport, but this is not mandatory.

5. Team members must be 10 years old (4th grade) and older.

6. The team coach must be at least 20 years old.

7. For smooth participation in the competition, the coach must necessarily have 1 assistant for each of his 3 teams that will participate in the competition.

8. Each team is allowed to have only one robot. It is forbidden to change robots during the competition.

9. Teams are not allowed to share the same robot.

10. If a team has a serious problem with their robot they are only allowed to change the microprocessor after permission from the Headjudges.

ROBOT ATHLETE - ROBOT CATEGORY

​

The Competition is for NON LEGO & LEGO Robot Athletes

Robot Athletes will compete separately for each age category and NON LEGO - LEGO category

​

ROBOTIC ATHLETE REQUIREMENTS - SPECIFICATIONS

1. The Robot Athlete must be autonomous.

2. Its maximum dimensions must be 25 cm Width x 25 cm Length x 25 Height – up to 1kg weight.

3. The minimum height of the Robot Athlete must be 5cm in order to be detected by the timing sensor.

4. The Robot Athlete will be weighed and must comfortably fit into a control box.

        - The control box measures 25 x 25 cm plus two (2) mm tolerance.

5. The Athlete Robot should be placed in the control box without applying pressure.

6. The Robot Athlete must not wear or damage the track or pose a threat to spectators in any way.

7. The Robot Athlete must have a start and stop button.

8. Only one microprocessor, 4 motors and 4 sensors are allowed. The non-lego category is excluded by the number of microprocessors and sensors. Their use is free.

9. Lego Class Robot Athletes must be constructed with Lego products only and the use of any other materials is prohibited. Any modification of these and especially of the electronic parts is strictly prohibited, e.g. engines.

10. The use of pneumatic devices / hardware is prohibited in any category of robots.

11. The Lego Sports Robot must only use batteries or cells (cells) as recommended by LEGO, preferably rechargeable. Modified batteries are prohibited.

12. Pullback motors are strictly prohibited in any robot class, as the sport promotes engineering and experimentation to increase speed.

13. It is forbidden to use gases to increase speed (ampoules and anything similar), as they are considered dangerous.

14. Do not use an electrical current voltage greater than twenty-four (24) volts on the Robot Athlete.

​

TECHNICAL CONTROL

​

1. The initial technical inspection will take place on the day of the Games at a place and time to be determined by the organizers.

2. During the initial technical check the team will be asked questions on the critical points of the robot program. The team should bring their laptop with the robot program open. If the questions show that the team has no knowledge of the program then the team receives a penalty equal to - 20% of the time they will bring to the Sport.

3. Technical inspection includes inspection of the robot according to the conditions described above. If he does not meet the specifications, he will not be allowed to compete and will be automatically disqualified from the event.

4. If a team is not in place during the initial scrutineering, this results in the team being automatically disqualified from the match.

5. A secondary technical check is also carried out before each attempt in the match by the assistant referee.

​

​

TRACK

 

The competition track remains secret until the day of the competition. Participants are expected to consider the data below and the image below and develop a code/algorithm that can be executed on any track.

1. The track is white in color and it is made of  tarpaulin.

2. The size of the track is 3m x 5m without this being absolute.​​

3. The stage is "closed".

4. A "closed track" is defined as a track whose start and finish points are on the same side of the track.

5. A line runs through the track which can form curves, right angles, etc.

6. The line is printed on the track with black ink (or marked with a black tape).

7. The line is black, 1.8 cm wide.

8. At the intersection the Robot Athlete should follow a straight path. He is not allowed to lose the line or follow the intersection.

9. The minimum distance of the line (axially) from the edge of the track boundary is 25cm.

10. The minimum curve diameter of the bend is 10 cm.

11. To mark the start and finish there are 2 small black rectangular shapes 4 centimeters long and 4 millimeters thick. The shapes are to the right and left of the black line. Be careful with your program as the Athlete Robot should not see the 2 black rectangles and get confused.

12. At the start there is a time measure sensor.

13. The line is surrounded by an empty space of twenty-five (25) centimeters on each side except at the intersections.

14. The lines in the sections are vertical at least up to twenty (20) centimeters.

15. To test the Robot Athletes before the start of the Games there will be test rounds where the Technicians will have access for a certain period of time and according to a schedule that will be announced on the day of the Games.
