Robot Design and Programming

Robot Design

The Robot Design judging session evaluates the team's Robot characteristics and performance. Each team must bring their robot(s), any and all attachments, and a printed copy of code to this session.  The team will have 5 minutes to explain their Robot Design. Then, there will be a five minute Q&A session with the team asking how the robot was built, where the design originated, what are the unique characteristics of the robot, etc.  This will allow the judges to make sure they have gotten all the answers they needed from the team.

You will present your Robot Design judging session to the judges. This session lasts 10 minutes and takes place in a judging room.

Prepare an oral report about the construction, programming and strategy of your robot. This report must not be longer than five minutes! The jury will stop longer explanations, so that all teams have the same chance.

It is exciting for the judges to learn about the construction process or to find out what you are most proud of in the robot and if there are parts that need improvement. The use and selection of sensors is another interesting aspect. In the document about the Robot Design report that is available to download below, we are giving you tips for that explanation.

After your report, the judges have the opportunity to ask more questions about your robot.
