WHAT IS
EDU ROBOTICS CUP?
Please note that for registrations after 18 December, the earliest date for invoicing is 7 January.
We recommend that you register before 18 December to receive your invoice as soon as possible, so that you have enough time to transfer the registration fee.
If the registration fee is not received by 15 January, the team’s registration will be cancelled and the team will not be allowed to participate in the competition.
ENGINEER CHALLENGE
Engineer Challenge is a category that focuses more on programming, but building is still a vital part of completing the tasks. For this category all competitors in the 4 age groups are welcome. After registration the competition participants will get access to the general rules of the category, a list of needed game objects and the official competition mat file. Teams then have to make sure to acquire the game objects and have the game mat printed before the competition period starts. We have chosen everyday items or easy to access objects, because we think these are either already part of an average household or competitors can get them easily and cheap. Exact tasks for each age group will be announced in the morning of the competition period’s first day and we will also share a detailed explanatory video made by our head judges.
Teams will then have some days to program and calibrate their robots to complete the tasks during the competition period.
The competitiors are free to choose from these micro-controllers ( Lego Ev3, Lego Spike Prime, Lego Robot Inventor, Arduino, Microbit) and building platform. Don’t forget to upload your solution within the deadline!
The season’s theme is COMING SOON.
The game mats and rules for each age group will be announced according to the season’s schedule!
PROJECT CHALLENGE
The Project Challenge is only available for two age groups: Kids (10 – 14 years old) and Teens (15 – 19 years old). The official language of the competition is English. After registration teams can start working on their project within the theme that will be announced SOON. Their task is to create an innovative project that shows how programming and robotics can fit the theme from any perspective. Teams have to prepare a video presentation and a documentation of their project that includes the usage of at least one robotic (free choice of micro-controllers and building platforms) solution. Other than that, there is no restriction on materials used to present the project. The aim is to present the most innovative and creative solution to a problem. After submission of documentation judges will have a short online call with all teams to discuss the projects.
