MECHANICS

  1. The participants must choose one (1) among the four (4) line paths, which they need to complete throughout the activity.
  2. Each team will be given only fifteen (15) minutes to complete their selected line path.
  3. If the robot encounters certain conditions, the participants will be given two (2) attempts to save their robot. The conditions include but are not limited to:
    • Alignment failure
    • Parts detached
    • Robot stopped
    • Program error/recalibration
    • Reached the borderline

Notes:

  • Each action taken to save the robot will be considered as one (1) attempt regardless of the action made. However, the timer will still continue and the robot must be placed back to where it was previously saved to continue the race.
  • In case the robot reaches the borderline, the participant may place the robot not more than 10 blocks behind the path it has already traversed.

4. The team that successfully completes the challenge will receive a cash prize and certificates of participation.

Note:

  • If any issues arise that are not mentioned in these guidelines, the decision of the TechnoKids representative attesting to the result will be followed.
