4000 Centimetter Long Distance with Robot Pu

Overview

Welcome to the Robot Pu 4000-Centimeter Long Distance Competition! In this challenging event, Robot Pu will race on an oval-shaped field, similar to an Olympic-standard track, comprising two straight sections and two curved sections. This competition is exclusively for autonomous control, focusing on testing the robustness of the auto-pilot system and energy management due to extended battery drain.

Competition Objectives

  • Test the endurance and efficiency of Robot Pu’s auto-pilot system.
  • Evaluate the energy management and battery performance over long distances.
  • Encourage innovation in autonomous robotics and algorithm development.

Track Specifications

  • Shape: Oval track
  • Dimensions:
    • Two straight sections, each 100 centimeters in length.
    • Two curved sections, each 100 centimeters in length.
    • Total length: 400 centimeters per lap
    • Total race distance: 4000 centimeters (10 laps)

Eligibility

  • Participants must be registered teams consisting of at least one operator and one Robot Pu.
  • Robots must meet the specifications outlined in the competition rules.

Robot Specifications

  • Robots must be bi-pedal (two-legged).
  • Maximum height: 20 cm.
  • Maximum width: 10 cm.
  • Robots must have a safe and stable design to prevent tipping over.

Competition Setup

  • The race track is set up in an oval shape with clearly marked start and finish lines.
  • The track includes two 100-cm straight sections and two 100-cm curved sections.
  • The total race distance is 4000 centimeters, equivalent to 10 laps around the track.

Race Procedure

  1. Starting Position: Robots start at the designated starting line. Operators must position their robots within the marked area.
  2. Race Start: The race begins with a signal from the referee. Robot Pu must follow the pre-programmed autonomous path to navigate the track.
  3. Navigating the Track: The autonomous program should guide Robot Pu through both straight and curved sections accurately. The robot must maintain control and optimize energy usage throughout the race.
  4. Finishing the Race: The race ends when Robot Pu completes 10 laps and crosses the finish line. The time taken to complete the race is recorded.

Scoring and Judging

  • Endurance: The primary criterion is the time taken to complete the 4000-centimeter distance. The fastest robot wins.
  • Energy Management: Evaluation of the robot’s battery performance and energy efficiency throughout the race.
  • Completion: Robots must successfully navigate the entire track to qualify for scoring.
  • Penalties: Time penalties may be applied for the following infractions:
    • Robot deviates from the designated track.
    • Robot falls and requires manual assistance to continue.
    • Damage to the track or obstacles.

Safety Guidelines

  • Robots must be designed and operated to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.
  • Operators must remain behind the safety barriers during the race.
  • In case of an emergency, the race will be halted, and safety protocols will be followed.

Awards

  • First Place: Trophy and a certificate of achievement.
  • Second Place: Medal and a certificate of achievement.
  • Third Place: Medal and a certificate of achievement.
  • Innovation Award: Awarded to the team with the most innovative autonomous program design.

Conclusion

The Robot Pu 4000-Centimeter Long Distance Competition is an exciting event that pushes the limits of autonomous robotics. By testing the auto-pilot system and energy management over a long distance, participants will showcase their engineering skills and innovation.

Good luck to all participants! May the best Robot Pu win! 🏆🤖
