  • 26. 4. Istrobot  2014
    15th annual international robotic contest Istrobot will be again at the Slovak Univerity of Technology in Bratislava on April 26th.
    Registration is open!

  • Linefollower
    This year we change the linefollower contest. First important change is that robot has to return home from the end of the track. Second important change is an introduction of the three-level difficulty system: based on the place where the robot will decide to return home, the robot will be awarded in one of the three levels. We also introduce new obstacles and the track will change slightly between runs. What we want to see are really autonomous robots and not precisely tuned mechanisms for the specific track.

  • Ketchup house
    In the category Ketchup House you will encounter more cans. Robots can fight for 5 cans which will be completed during the match to the total number of 12.

    Categories

    Stopar

    Linefollower

    The task is to construct an autonomous robot that will complete the racing track and negotiate all its pitfalls. It contains several obstacles - for example a bridge, tunnel to pass through and a brick to be avoided.

    Micromouse

    Micromouse

    The task is to construct a robot that can autonomously solve a maze and achieve the goal in the shortest time. When the robot tracks the right hand wall it will solve the maze, but not in the shortest possible time.
