The tracks
3 championship tracks, each with its own rulebook, format, and winning traits.
Two robots enter an enclosed arena and fight until one can't continue or time runs out. Judges reward control, aggression, and damage, so the machine that hits hardest, takes a hit best, and is driven smartest advances.
Two robots per side move autonomously and semi-autonomously to capture flags from enemy territory while defending their own. Points reward navigation, coordination, and clean retrieval under contest, so strategy matters as much as speed.
Two robots face off inside a ring and try to push each other out. It is a precision control-systems duel: the robot that senses its opponent fastest, grips the surface hardest, and reacts in milliseconds wins the shove.
