2. Competition Field and Environment

Field

The competition field map measures 216cm x 120cm (Figure 1) and is made of PU cloth or spray-paintedfabric.Theblack guiding lines are approximately 2.5cm wide. The robot base is located in the lower left corner (30cmx30cm).

Competition Field Environment

The competition field is enclosed by a fixed boundary. The environment is controlled with cold light sources, low lighting, and no magnetic interference. However, due to the many uncertainties typically found in competition environments, such as surface textures, uneven terrain, varying light conditions, and changes in model fixation methods, teams are prohibited from making on-site alterations to the field or the way tasks are secured. Teams must design their robots to accommodate these various conditions.

3. Robot tasks and scoring

Please note that the following tasks are merely simulations of certain scenarios and should not be compared to real-life situations.

Space jump

In a specific task area of the field, a space jump machine is fixed. The spaceship is located at the far left, with the orange panel facing right, as shown in Figure 2.
Scoring criteria: If the spaceship completes the space jump (with the orange panel facing up and the magnet attached), 50 points will be awarded. See Figure 3 for reference.

5. Competition

Participating team
1. Each participating team shall consist of 2 students and 1 coach. Students must be enrolled in school as of June 2025.
2. Team members should face all problems encountered during the competition with a positive attitude and handle them independently. They should respect themselves and others, treat teammates, opponents, volunteers, referees, and all those who have worked hard for the competition with friendliness and respect, and strive to cultivate themselves into people with a sound personality and healthy psychology.
Competition format
1. The competition will be held in three groups: elementary school, middle school, and high school.
2. There will be no preliminary or final rounds. The organising committee guarantees that each participating team will have the same number of appearances, and each appearance will be scored.
3. The tasks that the robots must complete will be specified on the competition field (selected from tasks 3.1to3.8, and there may also be mystery tasks). The number of tasks to be completed by the elementary, middle, and high school groups may vary.
4. After all rounds of the competition, the sum of the scores of each participating team in each round will be the team's total score, and the teams will be ranked according to the total score.
5. The competition organising committee may change the competition system according to the actual situation of registration and venue.
Competition Process
- Robot Assembly and Programming
1. Programming and debugging can only be conducted in the designated area.
2. Team members can enter the preparation area after checking in. The referee will inspect the equipment brought by the team, and all equipment must comply with the relevant regulations and requirements of the organising committee. Team members may bring pre-assembled robots into the preparation area.
3. During the competition, team members shall not access the internet or download any data, shall not use cameras or other devices to take pictures of the competition venue, and shall not contact the coach or parent.
4. 5.3.1.4 Each participating team will have a certain amount of debugging time during the entire competition. After the debugging time, each team shall, as required by the referee, seal their robot in the designated position and shall not modify or download any program before the end of the competition.
5. 5.3.1.5 After each round of the competition, participating teams are allowed to repair their robots and modify control programs in the preparation area, but they cannot disrupt the order of the next round.

- Pre-Match Preparation

When preparing to compete, team members will collect their robots and, under the guidance of the guide, enter the competition area. Teams that fail to arrive within the specified time will be considered as forfeiting.
Students participating in the competition shall stand near the base and shall not lean on the competition platform.
Team members shall place their robots in the base. No part of the robot (including the task model) can have a vertical projection that extends beyond the base.
Arriving team members should be ready to start within one minute. During the preparation period, the robot shall not leave the base, and no program modifications or downloads are allowed. Once preparations are complete, team members should signal the referee.

- Start

Start - The robot autonomously moves.
After confirming that the team is ready, the referee will give the countdown command of "3, 2, 1, start". After hearing the command "start", the team can start the robot.
If the robot starts before the command "start", it will be considered an "accidental start" and will be warned or penalized.
Once the robot starts, it can only be controlled by the program in its own controller.
After starting, the robot shall not intentionally separate its components or drop mechanical parts on the field. Any accidentally detached robot parts shall be removed from the field by the referee, and such items shall not be returned to the field. Intentionally separating components for the purpose of scoring is a foul, and the score for that task will be invalid.
After the start of the competition, if the task model leaves the field (except for the model carried by the robot when it returns to the base autonomously), the item shall not be returned to the field.

- Retry

The following situations will be considered a retry:
（1）Team members touch the robot outside the base（2） The robot completely exits the competition area.
During a retry, the field conditions remain unchanged, and the team must move the robot back to the base.
Tasks completed before a retry are still valid. However, any models carried by the robot when returning to the base during a retry become invalid and will be kept by the referee until the end of the round.
There is no limit to the number of retries per match. The timer does not stop or restart during retries.

- Autonomous Return to Base

The robot can autonomously return to the base multiple times without being considered a retry.
The standard for autonomous return to base: the vertical projection of any part of the robot is within the base.
After the robot autonomously returns to the base, team members can touch the robot and make changes or repairs to the robot's structure.

- End of Match

Each match lasts 150 seconds.
If a team completes a task and does not wish to continue, they should raise their hand to signal the referee. The referee will stop the timer and end the match accordingly; otherwise, they will wait for the referee to announce the end of the match.
After the referee announces the end of the match, team members should immediately turn off the robot's power and must not touch the robot or any objects on the field. If a team member or robot causes a changeinthestateofthe the model, the corresponding task will not be scored.
The referee has the obligation to inform the team members of the scoring results. Team members have the right to correct any possible errors in the referee's scoring operation. If there is no objection, they should sign to confirm their score; if there is a dispute, they should appeal to the chief referee.
Team members shall restore the field to its pre-start state and immediately move their robot back to the preparation area.

6. Scoring

Points are awarded based on the tasks completed in the field at the end of each match. If a completed task is accidentally damaged by the robot or team member before the match ends, no points will be awarded for that task.The specific scoring criteria for completing tasks can be found in Section
The order in which tasks are completed does not affect the score for individual tasks.
If there are no retries during the match and the robot's movements are smooth and continuous, a fluency bonus of 40 points will be awarded; 1 retry will award 30 points; 2 retries will award 20 points; 3 retries will award 10 points; 4 or more retries will award 0 points.

7. Fouls and Disqualification

If a team does not arrive within 15 minutes after the start of the match debugging, the team will be disqualified from that round.
The first accidental start will result in a warning from the referee, and the robot will return to the standby area and start again, with the timer restarting. A second accidental start will result in the team being disqualified for that round.
If the robot collides with the field facilities at high speed and causes damage, the team will receive a penalty. A second instance of damaging the field facilities will result in the team being disqualified for that round.
If a team member or robot damages the competition model, a warning will be issued once. The score for that task will be invalid.
If a non-competing team member interferes with the competition, the corresponding team will be disqualified, and the interfered team will be allowed to replay.
If a team member touches the competition model outside the base on the field, the model will become invalid, the competition will immediately stop, and the score will be calculated based on the current state.
Failure to follow the referee's instructions will result in disqualification for that round.
If a team member accesses the internet, downloads any data, or takes pictures of the competition venue during the competition, the team will be disqualified for that round.
If a team member contacts their coach or parent without the chief referee's permission, the team will be disqualified from that round.

Objections

8. Ranking

Teams in each group will be ranked based on their total score. In the case of a tie, the ranking will be determined by the following criteria in order:
- The team with the least total time used in all matches will rank higher.
- The team with the fewest retries in all matches will rank higher.
- The team with the highest maximum score in all matches will rank higher.
The award levels (no points or forfeits will not be included in the ranking) will be determined based on the team's ranking, including champion, first runner-up, second runner-up, first prize, second prize, and third prize.
