- RESCUE
RoboCupJunior USA Rescue mirrors the real life use of robots to rescue people from life-threatening situations. Teams of two to four students design and program a rescue robot to complete the rescue mission in fully autonomous mode with no human assistance. The robots use all types of sensors to navigate through debris and obstacles, to sweep through rooms, to go up and down ramps, and to look for the victim to save. Teams may use any technologies (materials, controllers, sensors, etc.) they choose, as long as the robot does not violate RoboCupJunior USA Rescue rules.
- ONSTAGE
RoboCupJunior USA OnStage is a competition that integrates science, technology, engineering and the arts. Teams of two to five students present a 1-2 minute creative stage performance using autonomous robots that they have designed, built and programmed. The OnStage challenge is intended to be open-ended insofar as the performers can present any type of performing art they choose, including dance, storytelling, theater and performance art. The challenge emphasizes creativity, often bringing one or more robots together dressed in costume, moving alone or with humans. Teams are encouraged to be as creative, innovative and entertaining as possible. The competition often involves a wide range of roles for team members, including software design and development, robot design and construction, performance planning and choreography, set design and construction, costume design, music and video design and implementation.
- SOCCER
In the soccer competition, teams of two to four students design and program robots to play soccer against opposing robots. The robots are fully autonomous and use sensors to find and kick the ball into their opponent’s goal.
