ABU ROBOCON 2024 [Official Announced]

Summary

Abu Robocon 2024 in Guangdin, Vietnam, features the Harvest Day competition with two robots, Robert One and Robert Two. In a three-minute match, the red and blue teams compete across three distinct zones: the Start Zone, Seedling Rack, and Planting Zone (Area 1), the Dry and Water Zones, and Harvesting Zone (Area 2), and the Storage and Silo Zones (Area 3). Robots collect and plant seedlings, harvest paddy rice and empty grain, and transfer them to silos for points. The ultimate goal is for Robot 2 to store paddy rice in silos, achieving an absolute victory by fulfilling specific conditions. Teams aim to harvest and store as much paddy rice as possible for the win.
