Children and young people build and program a small robot in teams of 2 or 3 people (here you will find information on the permitted material). They have to solve tasks independently on a game field measuring approx. 3 square meters. As a rule, objects must be transported and sorted by color, whereby obstacles must not be moved. The tasks will be known from the start of the season on January 15, but the placement of the objects on the game field will be randomized on the day of the competition before each round. The robot must be able to decide independently where to take a particular object and which objects to leave standing.
A surprise task is added at the regional competition; for example, an additional item may come into play.
In the Swiss final, the Afternoon Challenge is added, in which a completely new task has to be solved with the familiar objects.
