Robotics Innovative Project

The Robotics Innovative Project is a project-based competition where students create their own intelligent robotic solutions related to the theme of the event. 

1. This event is open to all levels of Junior High School students from private and public schools. Participating schools must choose three (3) bona fide students to represent them in the competition.

2. Only the first 20 participants with complete requirements upon registration process will be accommodated in the contest. Official participating schools will receive a notice via email.  

3. The final submission guidelines and rubric will be sent directly to the qualified participating schools. 

4. The qualified participants should upload their entries in the official Google Drive folder on or before March 6, 2023. Only uploaded entries to the folder will be judged according to the criteria. Entries sent using other platforms will not be considered and accepted. 

5. The file name should be in this format: 

Name of School_Surname,FirstName_Name of Project  (e.g.  "DLSU_Dela Cruz,Juan_KariTron")

6. The criteria for judging are as follows: 

Statement of the problem: 20%

Specification and Design of the Project: 20%

Demonstration of the Project: 20%

Presentation of Testing Results: 20%

Project Conclusion and Recommendations: 20%

7. The top three entries will receive the following:

1. Each team should produce and submit a video that will show the following:

   1. Opening Billboard (OBB) or Title Slide (to be provided by the organizer)

   2. Introduction of the participants

   3. Statement of the problem

   4. Specification and design of the project

   5. Sketch of mechanical design

      • Diagrams of sensors

      • Data design for integration with other technologies

      • Program design for autonomous and blended remote control operation

   6. Actual demonstration of the project

   7. Presentation of testing results

   8. Project conclusions and recommendations

2. The length of the video must not exceed five (5) minutes.

3. The Robotics Innovative Project will adhere to the following regulations for the robot:

a. There is no restriction on the robotics platforms (microcontrollers or single board computers), but anything that may pose a threat to other people and the surroundings is prohibited. 

b. The combination of different platforms is not restricted but each project should have a maximum of three (3) platforms only.
c. A maximum of eight (8) sensors are allowed per platform (microcontroller or single-board computer).
d. A maximum of ten (10) motors are allowed per platform (microcontroller or single-board computer).
e. Communications through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and Radio Frequency (RF) are allowed.

f. The robot should work with an independent electric/power supply.
