RoboMaster 2018 Now Accepting Registration!
The RoboMaster Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that registration for the 2018 RoboMaster season is officially open!
About the Competition
DJI founded RoboMaster in 2015 as an educational robotics competition for students around the globe. This annual competition attracts more than 200 university teams, demonstrating creativity, passion, and collaboration in making competitive robots. In 2017, the RoboMaster Regionals and Final Tournament reached an online audience of over 26 million, solidifying its place as the most advanced robotics competition in the world. Highlights from the 2017 Final Tournament live stream are available on Twitch (https://go.twitch.tv/robomaster).
Rules Overview
In RoboMaster, teams compete head-to-head, fighting against each other with a group of self-developed robots on a complex battlefield. Each side has six types of robot: Hero, Standard, Engineer, Aerial, Sentry, and Supplier. Every robot is outfitted with firing mechanisms to hit opponents with projectiles, as well as armor modules that convert hits into reduced Health Points. When a robot’s HP is zero, it is destroyed. This allows the opposing team to attack its Base, which must be destroyed to win the match
Schedule
The RoboMaster Organizing Committee (RMOC) reserves the right to change the competition schedule and rules. Specific rules and related aspects are subject to information announced by the RMOC on the official RM Forum.
RoboMaster 2018 includes the International Regional Competition, Wild Card Competition, and Final Tournament.
