Official rules can be found on our SkillsUSA Canvas course under the Competition section.

Overview

A two‐member team builds its robot and arm mechanism prior to the competition and then, during the competition, remotely operates the robot, which should be capable of locating, grabbing, and moving simulated ordinances on the challenge course. This remotely operated vehicle (ROV) must traverse the course, locate the ordnances, secure them, and properly dispose of them. Each team will perform one round of competition consisting of a time‐limited mission to locate and dispose of the two ordinances.

During the mission, each team must complete several procedures specified in the rules provided at the event.

 The mission will be limited to six minutes.

Each two‐member team will work from a command center to remotely operate its robot to carry out the mission. The command center will be equipped with a monitor displaying the video feed from an onboard wireless camera system attached to the robot. The robot will begin the challenge course from a starting point. The timed mission starts when the robot begins to move and ends when the robot drops the last ordnance into the containment unit, or when time runs out.
