Full Robot Track

Design and build a complete autonomous robot capable of performing complex tasks

$5,000 Prize Pool
2-4 students per team Team Size
3 Phases

Overview

Teams build a robotic solution inspired by any category of the competition. A robotic solution is a complete, functional system that combines hardware and software to use a robot (or robotic system), either autonomously, semi-autonomously, or via a controller, to solve a specific real-world problem.

Eligibility Requirements

Currently enrolled undergraduate or postgraduate students with valid student ID

Requirements

Booth space: 2m × 1m × 2m, Display team info and project development, Robot demonstration, Posters or visual aids

Technical Rules

Use of fully manufactured robots is discouraged, May use one or multiple robots, No restrictions on motors no sensors no controllers, Code must be written by team or use freely available open-source code with proper citation
