Each robot will be inspected for basic eligibility, safe operation, and compliance with the competition requirements. Teams will also receive a short practice window to test and validate their robot on a practice track that is different from the main competition track.

• The robot must fit within 25 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm.
• Maximum weight is 3 kg, including the battery.
• Robot must be designed for autonomous line following.
• Pre-built or commercially available line-follower kits are not permitted.
• Wireless modules may be used only during practice, testing, and tuning.
• Wireless modules must be detached or fully disabled before an official run.
• Reprogramming or adding/removing components during a run is prohibited.
• Robots must not damage, obstruct, alter, or interfere with the track or another team’s robot.
• Repeated unsafe operations may result in removal from the competition.

Eligible robots will attempt the official track under controlled conditions. The performance will be evaluated based on time and checkpoints, which will determine the final ranking.

• Rules of round 1 apply here.
• The official competition track will be used for the timed run.
• The robot must correctly follow the line through inverted sections, where the line changes from black on white to white on black.
• The transition between the two line polarities is considered part of the official track.
