Dear participants,
This rulebook plays a crucial role in ensuring the success and fairness of the
event for all participants. By thoroughly reading and understanding these
regulations, you will not only contribute to the integrity of the event but also
guarantee a level playing field for everyone. Please review this document
carefully and familiarize yourself with the information presented.
Welcome to Soccer-Bot Championship! This is a fun design competition that is
part of the AUST CSE Carnival 3.0, held in memory of Ayon Raihan. Imagine a
world where artificial intelligence and robotics converge to create a spectacle of
skill, strategy, and teamwork on the soccer field. It's a cutting-edge competition
where robots, meticulously designed and programmed by brilliant minds,
showcase their agility, precision, and decision-making prowess. We are inviting
participants to explore the intersection of technology and athleticism. Picture
miniature robots darting across the field with lightning speed, dribbling the ball,
making split-second decisions, and executing strategic plays – all
autonomously, without human intervention. It's a symphony of algorithms,
sensors, and mechanical finesse, choreographed to emulate the beautiful game
of soccer.
