  • The project to be created is a line-following robot and it will be racing a line track provided by Erovoutika.
  • The objective of the competition is to run the line-following robot on the line track provided by Erovoutika and have the fastest time record.
  • The competition has no restrictions on the tools, applications, or software that participants may use.
  • The robotics kit and the line track will be provided by ERovoutika.
  • In the competition proper, the line-following robot will be presented on a live stream with a stopwatch. Each robot will only be given one trial run. Robots that go off-track will automatically be disqualified.
  • The competition will be based on the time trials of each line-following robot. The three (3) fastest line-following robots will be the Champion, 1st runner-up, and 2nd runner-up, respectively
