Stay tuned to find out about the registration period, contest and many other details about this year competition.

We are sorry to announce that this year's edition of RoboChallenge Romania is canceled. 
 
Due to the international context, but also nationally, we cannot know what will happen in November. 
The new Covid19 Delta variant and the small vaccination numbers (worldwide but also nationally) is not a good indicator in this point.
We consider that the organization of the contest in safe conditions is not possible this year with a big number of participants. 
It's not an easy decision for anyone, but we believe that our safety and health are now more important, above all the things and feelings invested in this competition. 
 
We encourage you to continue the development of robots and we hope to see you next year.
 
We hope we will be able to organize in safe conditions the next edition of Robochallenge Romania between 4 - 6 November 2022.  
 
See you next year!!!

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!

Are you ready to participate in the greatest robotics competition in Romania? We invite you between 28th - 30th October in Bucharest at the International Robotics Competition, Robochallenge Romania 2016.
 
The greatest robotics competition in Romania is organized by the Electronics Students League - Liga Studentilor Electronisti and ETTI Robochallenge, with the support of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology - Facultatea de Electronică, Telecomunicații și Tehnologia Informației, University “Politehnica” of Bucharest - Universitatea Politehnica din București.

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.

Monday, 13th of July 2015, 18:00, room A101 in Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology will be the official opening of the RoboChallenge Summer School.

We have the pleasure to announce a new challenge in the competition 'Freestyle Showcase' .
Its first edition will be at this year's Robochallenge.
The regulations can be read on this page: http://www.robochallenge.ro/en/regulations/view/id/17
 
In the next weeks we will publish the regulations for a new challenge: 'Humanoid robot'

     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 fourth edition, Robochallenge Summer School will take place during 15th 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!

We are very honored and proud to announce that starting this year, the first three places of the Mega-Sumo class will receive an official invitation to attend to the All Japan Robot-Sumo Tournament in Tokyo (https://www.facebook.com/AllJapanRobotSumoTournament?fref=ts or http://www.fsi.co.jp/sumo/en/), in mid-December, as a courtesy of Fujisoft Inc. Accommodation and meals will be provided for the entire stay, but transportation to and from Tokyo will have to be covered by the participants.

 

Starting today, Innovation Labs is OPEN for candidates. Do you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur?
