Team size: 6 people guided by a coach
Hardware: Elementary Microbit
Software: Scratch, Make Code, Mind+
Maximum size: Must fit in 2x2x2m booth
Theme:
Students create a fully functional educational robotics project that presents solutions relevant to the challenges humans face in establishing a colony on Mars. Requests, limitations and deliverables are presented in the detailed related document.
Early Elementary 6-9 years old
Develop a project based on Simple Machines with any materials powered by a battery and motor controlled by a switch. The project helps solve real-world problems.
Higher Elementary 9-11 years old
Develop a project based on Simple Machines with any materials fully automated.
Also, the students will use microbit to take data. The project helps solve real-world problems.
Football Category
Age:8-12
Teams of 2-3 students
Football 2×2 is addressed to primary school students. In this game 2 rival alliances consisting of 2 remotely controlled robots each, chase a ball on a specially designed table (football field). The goal of each alliance is to win the game, scoring more goals than their opponents.
Primary school pupils are the target audience for 2×2 football. Two opposing alliances of two remote-controlled robots each chase a ball on a specially prepared table (soccer pitch) in this game. Each alliance’s goal is to win the game by scoring more goals than their opponents.
Regular Category
Age: 10-16
Team size: 2-3 people guided by a coach
Hardware: Nezha, Spike
Software: Scratch Python
Maximum size: Max. 25 x 25 x 25 cm
Characteristics: Build and program a robot that solves challenges on a field.
Regular STEM is a challenge-based competition. Students must design, construct and program an autonomous robot to solve specific field challenges. Because the field is set up randomly each round, the robot needs to be able to make its own decisions during the run.
