Robo Basketball

Mission

The mission of RoboBasketball is to build a biped robot and its control algorithm. The robot should be capable of picking up the ball, avoiding an obstacle and shooting the ball into the basket.

GAME RULES

	The robot must start behind the start line.
	The robot must first pick up the orange ball.
	The robot should then move forward and avoid the obstacle.
	The robot can shoot the ball into the basket with no restriction in its shooting methods.
	The robot can be either autonomous or remote controlled
	The robot must be a two-legged biped

Robo Boxing

Mission

The objective of RoboBoxing is to create a biped robot that can box in the boxing ring against another robot. Each robot will use two arms with the aim of making the other robot fall down.

Boxing Ring and Circumstances

The boxing Ring will be 1.5m x 1.5m in size and 50cm in height.
The illumination will be flexible and there will be no limitation to the amount of camera flashes or video capturing allowed from spectators and people from the media. Participating teams must endeavor to design a robot, which is insensitive to light.

Specifications of Robo

	Robots should use two legs
	Maximum size of feet should be 20 cm
	Robots should be within 50 cm and 120 cm in height
	Robots may be controlled by either: autonomous computing or through tele-operation by a human operator
	Robots should be designed to be insensitive to the light, sound and frequency, dependent on the ring and circumstance
	Robots should be designed not to conflict with other communication systems (more than 3 channels will be available)
	Power should be set within the robot system
	The following behaviour is strictly prohibited: - Use of a weapon to damage the ring or other system e.g. A knife or high-speed spinning blade - Use of illegal frequency, laser or other means to interrupt another system - Any emission of liquid, power or ignition of fire

Rules of the Competition

	The time allocated for each match is 3 rounds of 3minutes each
	For the first attack, robots should step forward at least 3 steps before starting to attack the other robot
	If a robot stops for more than 10 seconds, the judge can give a warning
	If any part of a robot, other than the feet, touches the ground or the robot falls out of the ring, the judge can call the robot as ‘Down.'
	When 'downed' and the robot cannot stand upright before the judge counts to 10, the judge calls it as 'K.O' and the robot loses the game
	If the robot gets 'down' more than 3 times in the same round, it will lose the game
	If both of the robots get 'down' at the same time, the game will be restarted without a score
	Time out is not permitted
	Players can give up or forfeit the match by request to the Judge. The Judge can also stop the match by calling a technical knock-out if there seems to be critical damage to the robot system
	If either robot falls through weakness or otherwise, the robot must get up in 10 seconds. The other robot should meanwhile return to its corner. When the fallen robot is on its legs, the round is to be resumed and continued until the three minutes have expired.
	When the fallen robot gets upright to continue the game, it should get up autonomously or by the assistance with a human controller

Robo Marathon

Mission

The mission of Robo Marathon is to design a wheel based robot hardware and software algorithm that is capable of finding the short-cut and managing speed and energy efficiently to finish the 42.195m marathon track. Track guide lines and landmark information will be provided on the game floor.

Game Rules

	All the participating robots need to be set up to go and be collected at the competition site half an hour before the competition starts.
	As the competition starts, players are only allowed to turn on the power switch and locate the robot at the starting line under the judge’s direction.

<Play Ground Diagram>

------------------------- Starting Line
[ ll RR ll RR ll RR ll RR ll RR ll ]
-------------------------- Black colored Partition for sensory start
-------------------------- Second Starting Line
[ ll RR ll RR ll RR ll RR ll RR ll ]

	A preliminary round is held to decide seed allocation.
	A maximum of 10 qualified robots will get the seed, and the higher scored robots will get the better positions at the starting line.
	Robots with no seed will start at the second starting line, which is marked at 1m50cm behind from the first starting line.
	A black painted bar will be located at 2cm ahead from each of the starting lines and will be lifted by staffs as starting signal. Therefore all the participatiing robots should have a front IR sensor to remotley sense the existance of the black bar to get starting signal.
	No part of the robot body can cross the starting line prior to the starting signal.
	The robots will get positional information using bar code type countable lines, and by counting the number of horizontal crossing lines which are marked 50 centimeters before each corner.
<Diagram>

Robot Specifications

	Maximum size of 12cm(W) by 12cm(L)
	No battery limitation
	Robots should have at least one set of front IR sensor and side sensors at both of left and right side to avoid wall and other competing robots while they are running but type and number of sensors are not limited
	Control: fully autonomous

Evaluation

	The fastest robot will win - the robot completing the distance of 42.195metres in the shortest time will be the winner
	If the robot shows no sign of moving for more than 10 seconds, the robot will be disqualified.
If none of robots complete the course, the robot closest to the finishing line will be placed first.

	Plywood is recommended as the beam material.
	A Black mat is recommended as the ground material.

4.Rules of Competition

	Each robot should start by standing on the starting line, and finish the performance by standing on the finish line.
	There will be two phases in the competition - The qualifying phase - The competition phase
	The qualifying phase: each robot should successfully perform the following four basic skills on the beam in three minutes, in order to qualify for the next phase. - Walk forward five steps - Turn right (or left) and walk five steps sideways (towards the finish line) - Turn right (or left) again and walk backwards five steps (towards the finish line) - Turn 180° and walk forward the rest of the distance to the finish line.
	The competition phase: each robot will have three minutes to show their full performance. For this phase, the participants should develop various skills such as standing or moving by one leg, lying down and standing up etc.

5. Scoring

	To win the competition, a robot should pass the qualifying phase and get the best score from the competition phase
	The qualifying phase will not be scored. However the competition phase will be judged and points awarded
	Five examiners from different countries will judge and score the competition phase.
	The score for each performance will be the average of the three scores left after excluding the best and worst marks.
	The examiners will award points for each performance based on the following categories. - Technical difficulty - Creativity / Originality - Variety of skills - Time management i.e. Finishing on time (three minutes)
	If there are more than two winners, the heaviest robot will win the competition
