Competitors have to design everything from how to collect a soil frisbee with a robot, how to aim, throw accurately, and finally levels should be hung in a tower that is in the center of the court.
According to the complexity and efficiency of the robot can achieve better results.
The robot has a limit of 60 kilos though, is a list of materials that can be used limit, as the fact that you can use up to four motors to move the robot, all use the same type of controller, the program that put a the computer will be different according to your design and budget limit is two thousand 500 dollars, so that it does not have much money a team has the best robot.
