Goal

The goal of the Robot Athletes is to take the opponent out of the battle on the specially designed wrestling track and be considered the winner.

There is a time limit of 10 seconds in each match.

Wrestling, as a sport, does not require the injury or destruction of the opponent, but only his displacement from track. This can only be done by pushing the opponent with the robot's main body, just like two human wrestlers would fight.
In such a case the Robot Athlete who violates the core values will be excluded and the opponent will be declared the winner.

While for junior wrestling, it is not necessary to use coding, remote control is allowed.

Team - COACHES

Each team can consist of one (1) – two (2) people.
Each team should nominate up to 1 Robot contestant. Only the Robot contestant is allowed in the waiting area or play area. The rest will remain in the team area or watch the game from spectators. If a team does not adhere to the above rule and its members roam the field then the team will be disqualified.
The team is allowed to change contestants in each round in order for all members of the team to engage in the sport without this being mandatory. A team cannot change its contestant during a match.
Each team is allowed to have only one robot. Changing robots during competition is strictly prohibited.
If a team has a serious problem with their robot they are only allowed to change the microprocessor or a faulty motor only after permission from the Headjudges.

ROBOT ATHLETE - ATHLETE CATEGORY

The Robot Athlete must be autonomous.
Its maximum dimensions must be 20cm Width x 20cm Length with 1cm tolerance and its mass up to 1 kg.
To confirm specifications, the Robot Athlete will be weighed and must fit into a control box.
The control box measures 20 x 20 cm with 1cm tolerance.
The Athlete Robot should be placed in the control box without applying pressure.
The Robot Athlete must not damage the track or pose a threat to spectators in any way.
The Robot Athlete must have a start and stop button.
For Robot Athletes only one microprocessor and 4 motors are allowed. Robots can have 4 sensors.
Robot Athletes cannot use Pullback motors.
Robot Athletes cannot use batteries above 7.4V.

3D Printed / Structural Parts – Shields & Extensions

Robot Athletes are allowed to include 3D printed parts or other structural materials for protective shields and extensions at the front, rear, and/or sides.
At the start of the match, the Robot Athlete must fit entirely inside the official control box (20 × 20 cm, tolerance ±1 mm).
After the start, the Robot Athlete may expand forward, backward, and/or sideways, but the maximum overall dimensions must never exceed 30 × 30 × 30 cm when in full extension on all sides.
Shields and extensions may be mechanical or deployable (e.g., lowered, expanded, or unfolded upon activation).
Shields and extensions must not be white in color, in order to avoid interference with arena line markings and sensors.
The maximum weight limit of 1 kg remains in effect, including all shields, extensions, and additional parts.
Extensions/Shields must be constructed only from plastic material.
In the case of using flags, the use of paper and fabric of any color is permitted. The total height of the Robot Athlete with the flag in verical position must never exceed 25cm.
All shields and extensions must be safe: no sharp edges, no dangerous parts, and no elements that damage or wear down the arena surface.
If, after the start of the match, the referee determines that the Robot Athlete does not comply with the specifications stated in the rules, they have the right to disqualify the team from the event.

Contestants will be having one-on-one matches against other wrestling robots.
Each round includes 5 matches lasting ten (10) seconds. A match ends early if:
1. When one of the two Robot Athletes knocks the other out of the arena (80% out of the Robot Athlete).
2. If one of the two Robot Athletes is no longer able to continue in the competition.
3. If the referee decides as a penalty to one of the two Robot Athletes to give the victory to the opponent.
4. If one of the two Robot Athletes exits the arena on their own for any reason (80% out of the Robot Athlete) .
It is considered a tie if neither Robot Athlete manages to knock the other off the track during the one minute match.
The contestant with the highest score will be the competition winner. In the case of a tie in score, the following rules will determine who is the tiebreaker winner:
1. The shortest average time wins
2. The least number of losses wins
