Hide and Seek in Radio Space

Welcome to “Hide and Seek in Radio Space,” a thrilling game where Robot Pu has grown up and entered its rebellious phase. In this competition, Robot Pu will evade control by randomly switching radio channels. Players must use their hacker skills and programming expertise to lock down Robot Pu’s radio channel and regain control. The winning team is the one that successfully controls the most Robot Pu units and guides them into their designated team circle where they must stop.

This game was designed base on this tutorial. Review the tutorial before you participate this game.

Competition Objectives

  • Test players’ ability to track and lock onto Robot Pu’s radio channel.
  • Encourage innovative programming and hacking techniques.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of algorithms and strategies in regaining control over Robot Pu and guiding it to the team circle.

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

  • Height: 20 cm
  • Width: 8 cm
  • Radio Channels: Robot Pu can operate on up to 255 radio channels.

Game Setup

  1. Radio Environment: Set up a radio environment with multiple channels for Robot Pu to switch between.
  2. Robot Preparation: Ensure Robot Pu is equipped with the necessary sensors and algorithms for evading control by switching radio channels.
  3. Team Circles: Mark designated team circles on the playing field where teams must guide Robot Pu.

Game Procedure

  1. Rebellion Activation: Robot Pu enters rebellion mode, randomly switching radio channels to evade control.
  2. Tracking and Locking:
    • Players use their programs and devices to scan the available radio channels.
    • Identify the channel Robot Pu is currently using.
    • Lock onto Robot Pu’s radio channel and regain control.
  3. Guiding to Team Circle:
    • Once players lock onto the correct radio channel, they must send commands to Robot Pu to guide it to their designated team circle.
    • Robot Pu must enter the team circle and stop there to be counted.
    • The game continues until the allotted time runs out or all Robot Pu units are controlled.

Scoring and Judging

  1. Number of Robots Controlled: The primary criterion is the number of Robot Pu units successfully guided into the team circle. The team with the most robots wins.
  2. Time to Lock: Evaluation of the time taken to track and lock onto Robot Pu’s radio channel.
  3. Accuracy: Assessment of the accuracy and effectiveness of the tracking algorithms and techniques used.
  4. Hacking Skills: Evaluation of the creativity and innovation demonstrated in the hacking and programming approaches.
  5. Overall Strategy: Assessment of the overall strategy and execution in regaining control over Robot Pu and guiding it to the team circle.

Safety Guidelines

  • Ensure all devices and programs are used safely and ethically.
  • Design and operate Robot Pu to prevent damage and interference with other equipment.
  • Operators must remain behind safety barriers during the game.
  • In case of an emergency, the game 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 creative and innovative tracking and locking techniques.

Conclusion

“Hide and Seek in Radio Space” is an exhilarating game that challenges participants to showcase their hacking skills and programming expertise. By tracking and locking onto Robot Pu’s radio channel and guiding it to the team circle, players will demonstrate their technical prowess and strategic thinking. The team that successfully regains control over the most Robot Pu units and guides them to their team circle will emerge victorious!
