About the Competition There are actually two contests, one in robot design and the other in interactive game design. For the robot design contest, fully autonomous robots will compete against each other to perform a specific task. The robots have to be intelligent and equipped with sensors, computer controlled servos, manipulators, etc. to perform tracking, searching, lifting and precision locating of lifted loads. Tasks vary from year to year. The robot which can attain the highest score within the specified time will win the competition.
