All robots will be considered so long as it does not come exclusively from a kit or store. Robots of similar ability will be pitted against each other in organized competition. Generally robots will be judged on sophistication of behavior, novelty of design, efficiency of power source, and quality of hardware innovation. Mobot is designed to allow the participants to explore some of the main technical aspects involved in building an autonomous robot. Concretely, in the Mobot competition, the robot needs to follow a white line on the ground outdoors along a specific path.
Participants learn a hands on aspect to science.
