A robot must autonomously navigate through a mock home with multiple rooms with a candle randomly placed in one of the rooms, simulating a house on fire. The robot needs to find the candle and put it out, paving the way for a house-hold robot which would find and extinguish small home fires before they can engulf the house. Rules & Info >>>

Two robots 1lbs. compete in a head-to-head match following the basics of boxing. Robots are mostly teleoperated, but autonomous control is allowed. Like boxing, the robots are given three full minutes for a round, in which either one of the robots is knocked out or the match time runs out, and 3 judges decide the winner. Most anything goes in terms of weapons, excluding water and electrical tasers. Rules & Info >>>
