RMU 2025 Progress Assessment Criteria
2024-10-21
- The Technical Assessment criteria consist of two parts: the robot building specifications display criteria and the robot function display criteria.
- The RMOC will first assess teams’ compliance with robot building specifications display criteria. If any mandatory item is not displayed in the video, that type of robot cannot get any points for the function display part.
- The display of each function must be filmed in a single, continuous shot. The required dimensions must be shown in the video. (For example, when displaying simulated strikes of the Dart System on the Base, the video must show the measurement of the 25-meter distance.) Otherwise, points will be deducted accordingly.
- If the function display video of a robot only meets part of the criteria or does not show the mandatory function(s), points will be deducted accordingly; for unique robot features implemented beyond the requirements, bonus points will be awarded.
- Each robot type has its video data form, which the participating team must fill out truthfully. If the video content does not match the form, points will be deducted accordingly.
- If the video does not show the mandatory item(s) of a robot applicable to its type, the robot will receive no points for all the optional items.
- For sped-up videos, the speed multiplier must be clearly indicated.
- For proof of hit rates, the video must show carbon paper marks or the difference in the target robot’s HP before and after the strike. Hit rate data must be displayed as subtitles in videos.
- Videos displaying the robot’s automatic recognition capability and the Engineer’s ability to grab and exchange Ores cannot be sped up.
