Task:
• The objective of this contest is for a line follower robot to follow a white line on
a black background, without losing the line, and navigating turns.
• There are 3 check points and after passing every check point, points will be
rewarded.
• The robot to complete the course in the shortest period of time while accurately
tracking the course line from start to finish, wins.
• Task Time: Time is measured from the time the robot crosses the starting line
until the time it crosses the finish line. A robot is deemed to have crossed the
line when the forward most wheel, track, or leg of the robot contacts or crosses
over the line.
• Time Limit: A robot that cannot complete the task in the allotted time shall be
disqualified.
• Timekeeping: Time shall be measured by an electronic gate system or by a
judge with a stopwatch, based on the availability of equipment. In either case
the recorded time shall be final.
• Autonomous Control: Once a robot has crossed the starting line it must remain
fully autonomous, or it will be disqualified.
• Losing the Line: Two attempts will be given to any bot that loses the line course,
bot must acquire the previous check point it has already traversed.
• Use of microcontroller is not compulsory.
