A two-member team builds a robot and arm mechanism prior to the competition and then, during the competition, remotely operates the robot. The robot 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 ordinances, 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 two ordinances.
The contest includes activities that simulate situations encountered by robotic programmers and support professionals. Teams are given a task to solve using a mobile robotic system provided by the technical committee. Teams will have two scored chances to solve the mobile robotic challenge. Once a team has performed the required task or set of tasks, a design change may be introduced. Contestants are required to adhere to industry safety standards using the hardware and software provided.
