Description:

• 1. The task of the robot competition is to build a robot that will find the objects on the competition field and turn the objects around (upside down).
• 2. The robot must start from an area intended for this purpose and to pass through a gate in a wall between the starting area and the objects.
• 3. The mechanical connection of the robot with any object outside the field is forbidden. It is also forbidden for a person to interfere in the control of the robot during the competition with the help of any connection.
• 4. The competition time is the time that is given to the robot to pass through the track and it is 10 minutes. If needed, the team may remove the robot from the competition field during their turn before the competition time is up, but only when the team has the permission of the judge to do that.
• 5. The robot that has turned around the most number of objects during the competition time (10 min) is the winner.

The competition field:

• 1. The competition field is a 4x4 field. There is a starting area of 50x50 cm in the corner of the field with the width of 100±3, separated with a wall (home) that is located on one side of the competition field.
• 2. The height of the barrier surrounding the competition field is 10 cm and all walls and barriers are white.
• 3. The width of the gate in the wall that separates home from the middle of the field is 50±1 cm. The gate is limited by the frame of the gate from the sides and from above. The height in the middle of the frame of the gate is 40±1 cm and the radius of the upper corners is 20±1 cm. The material and the colour of the gate are undefined.
• 4. The location of the gate in the wall that separates home form the rest of the competition field will be chosen randomly.
• 5. There are 10 objects in the middle of the competition field and those objects are placed on the field randomly, but so that none of the objects are closer to the barriers, walls, or each other more than 50 cm. A training configuration will be set up for trainings.
• 6. The robot cannot move over the walls or the barriers of the competition field.
• 7. The ground of the field is a floor (parquet, tile, etc.).
• 8. The objects are metal cylinders with closed ends and with diameter of 53±1 mm and with the height (from edge to edge) of 134±1 mm (e.g. painted Red Bull jars). The weight of the objects is 250±10 g. The objects are painted so that they are half white and half black. The objects are upright on the competition field, standing on one of the bottoms of the cylinder due to their own weight.
• 9. The objects are initially located so that all white halves are against the field. The robot must turn the objects round so that the black half is against the field and that the object stands due to its own weight.
• 10. Every object that is in the upright position and with the right side against the area gives 1 point.

Additional acquirements

• 1. The robot must completely (including the projections of the manipulators etc. equipments) fit in the starting area.
• 2. It is forbidden to place any other objects (except the robot) on the competition field and on the surrounding field within 1 m range from the barriers of the field. The team members can be behind the front side barrier of the competition field or in the spectator area.
