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.
