The special rules for WRO Starters state “During the competition run, the robot must be moved/operated autonomously (not remote-controlled).” This means in detail:
- Remote controls of any kind are not allowed!
- All actions performed by the robot between two safe zones must be programmed in one piece.
- A new partial program may only be started when the robot is completely in a safe zone (the black line does not count as such). this means:
- with SPIKE Essential: A new project is started from the computer or tablet from the app
- with SPIKE Prime: Another program (different number on the hub) is started directly from the hub, or the command “Wait until left button is pressed” is used in the program code.
