Events
Fire Fighter Bot
A robot must autonomously navigate through a mock home with multiple rooms with a candle randomly placed in one of the rooms, simulating a house on fire. The robot needs to find the candle and put it out, paving the way for a house-hold robot which would find and extinguish small home fires before they can engulf the house. Rules & Info >>>
RoboMagellan
The spirit of this competition is to be encouraging and welcoming to robotics enthusiasts with diverse experience levels. This competition focuses on collaboration and helping one-another learn to complete the overall objective. The objective is similar to the DARPA Grand Challenge, robots are programmed to make their way through an outdoor course going to various GPS centered orange cones as waypoints. The robots must avoid obstacles, and the start and end points are never line-of-site. Scoring is based on both speed and accuracy. Rules & Info >>>
1-pound Combat
Two robots 1lbs. compete in a head-to-head match following the basics of boxing. Robots are mostly teleoperated, but autonomous control is allowed. Like boxing, the robots are given three full minutes for a round, in which either one of the robots is knocked out or the match time runs out, and 3 judges decide the winner. Most anything goes in terms of weapons, excluding water and electrical tasers. Rules & Info >>>
