They will only know about the task on the day of the combat.
But here are some suggestions how to work with them:
  • Let each team build a robot and start with a remote race. See pics in the gallery.
    • In the playstore you will find existing free mobile apps for cell phones
  • Do a wall follower race with the ultrasonic sensor
  • Do a line follower race with the color sensor
  • Organize a color reading with decision making (e.g. by red turn left)
  • Explain a PD or PID regulation/steering for the wall follower
  • show construction technics
  • Organize a navigation race through a labyrinth
  • L;et them push table tennis balls or small boards arround (play tic toc toe)

list of obstacles


Step 6 (january) streaming set up

Organize the streaming via a youtube channel and send us your youtube channel link for the webside.
You need a room with canvases, beamers, table and streaming cameras.
We organize a streaming test one week before the combat.
Do organize two independant referees per table aswell.

Step 7 (february) printing the Layout

Print the layout, but don't show it to your students.
We will send you the link in february.

Step 8 (march) on the day of the combat

We provide you with the rules in english.

We provide you with the simulation of the task to show it to your students.



Now each school runs its own combat, in two runs at the following times:
MEZ 10:20 am to 12:20 pm (locale swiss time) - UTC 09:20 am to 11:20 pm

All achiefed points in both runs will be added up for the final ranking. There will be an international ranking and your own school ranking.
