Registration for Robochallenge Summer School is officially open until 10.07.2016.
Use the following link: http://robochallenge.ro/en/summer/register
Robochallenge Summer School started from our desire to be closer to our contestants, to offer them the support and guidance needed in order for them to build a competitive robot.
The trainees receive mechanics, electronics and programming classes, but also, the fact we think it is the most important: experience exchange with former contestants and trainees.
We set up a laboratory, equipped with necessary means for testing and developing robots: measuring devices, tools for PCB making and necessary design software. Optimum functionality of robots can be tested on fields similar to the ones used in the official competition, therefore sensors and robot parameters can be calibrated.
At its fifth edition, Robochallenge Summer School will take place during 12th of July-15th of September, where we promise to offer our support , advice and useful practical examples for developing a competitive robot. The classes and laboratories will be held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, after 6:00 p.m. , and all the details will be announced at our first meeting.
If you consider words as robots, programming, electronics or mechanics are true mysteries or sound very familiar, we are waiting for you to reveal them together! Let’s build this summer the robot you will be competing with at the next Robochallenge edition!
Romania participated in the in the category of autonomous robots with three teams: Flex Team and EVO Robotics from Bucharest, and Precision Robotics from Cluj. The three Romanian teams had no less than seven robots in the contest, called Wolf, Shreddinger, Bonfire, Kraft, Wall-E, Rugina, and Pufosenia. 3 robots (Wolf, Shreddinger and Kraft) won their certifications from Viena and Bucharest, and 2 robots (Bonfire and Wall-E) go to the finals after the pre-tournament.
Turkey’s Karot Team won the first place with a robot called Sakin, the Romanian teams winning the following three places: Flex Team with their robot Wolf (RobChallenge 1st place) won the second place, Evo Robotics and the robot Bonfire (Robochallenge 4th place) got the third place, and Flex Team’s robot Shreddinger ended the competition on the fourth place.
The awarded Romanian teams were composed of : Adelina Bratu, Adrian Gaspar, Andreea Beciu, Bogdan Istrate, Cristina Teodorescu, Daniela Dobre, Olguta Popescu, Ovidiu Alexandru, Petre Slavescu, Suzana Neacsu, and Teodor Rosca (Flex Team), and Alexandru Rogozan, Alexandru Toma, Ana Maria Radu, Mihaela Gatu, and Octavian Alexandru (Evo Robotics).
We are inviting you to Bucharest in 2016, between 28th and 30th October, for another great edition of the contest!
Also, the entire organizing team wishes you Happy Holidays and a New Year full of success!
For Line follower and Line follower Enhanced we change the time limit.
1.3. Time Limit
A maximum of 3 minutes is allowed for a robot to complete the course. A robot has unlimited attempts to finish the course in a maximum interval of time announce by the organizers before the challenge starts. The minimum interval of time will be 3 hours.
For Mega Sumo, Mini Sumo and Micro Sumo we change the robot placement at start.
4.1. Robot Placing
Upon the judge's instructions, the two teams approach the ring to place their robots on the ring. A cross in the middle divides the sumo ring into 4 quadrants. Robots always have to be placed in 2 opposing quadrants. The robots have to be placed at the border within the assigned quadrant. The robot has to cover the white border at least partially. The judge will remove the cross after positioning of the robots. After placing, the robots may not be moved anymore.
Don't forget for Mega Sumo, Mini Sumo, Micro Sumo and Maze the robots must be equipped with the Start Stop module.
The registration system is working.
If you encounter other problems e-mail on: info@robochallenge.ro
We have technical problems with the registration system.
The problem will be solved tonight.
We would like to announce that public entrance at the competition is free!
