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
- Starting Position: Robots start at the designated starting line. Operators must position their robots within the marked area.
- Race Start: The race begins with a signal from the referee. Robot Pu must follow the pre-programmed autonomous path to navigate the track.
- 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.
- 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.
