The local robotics competition will take place from November 4 to December 14, split into three main phases. During the first two weeks, teams will focus on building their robots. The third and fourth weeks will feature an Arduino challenge, followed by a PCB challenge in weeks five and six. This structure follows a rotating system, where teams that begin with the Arduino challenge will switch to the PCB challenge in the subsequent weeks, and vice versa. Challenge scores are updated regularly on the website and will determine the team rankings displayed there. However, robot-building scores will remain undisclosed until December 15, when the winners will be announced based on the combined scores from both the challenges and robot performance.
