Rescue Robots

Red Zone — Autonomous Search

This zone is entirely sensor-focused. The robot must interact with its environment and autonomously locate the victim.

• Start Point: A 30×30 cm red square in the bottom-left corner.
• Floor Guide: 2 cm wide black line on white floor; interrupted with 10-15 cm gaps.
• Maze Walls: 15 cm high movable MDF walls; ultrasonic sensor testing.
• Debris Simulation: 1 cm high, 3 cm wide wooden bumps (speed breakers).
• Victim Points: 3 points (X, Y, Z) on the yellow line; victim placed randomly by referee before each match.

Green Zone — Remote-Controlled Evacuation

The zone where the operator takes over, requiring mechanical stability and driving skills.

• Seesaw: 60 cm long ramp with ~20° incline; victim must not be dropped.
• Narrow Passage: Slalom (zigzag) through vertical pillars spaced 25-30 cm apart.
• Safe Zone: A 40×40 cm green square in the top-right corner; victim object is placed here.

Victim Simulation

The target object that robots must rescue is a bright orange wooden cube easily identifiable by color sensors.

Field Infrastructure Standards

General structural features and standards of the competition field are listed below.

• Perimeter walls: 15 cm high, matte black or white.
• Zone border: 5 cm wide fluorescent yellow line (at 150 cm).
• Floor: MDF or wood; Zone A white, Zone B unrestricted.
