Technical Challenges of the Small Size League are intended to encourage teams to develop solutions to specific problems that will advance the quality of gameplay within the league. Teams are evaluated for their completion of the challenge during a designated time at RoboCup each year.

Rules

Below are the rules for the different RoboCup 2024 technical challenges. Source code associated with these challenges can be found on GitHub.

Black and White Hulls Challenge

Since many teams currently use black as their main hull color, making it difficult to distinguish between the two teams during the game, this challenge aims to find a way to quickly change the hull color from black to white and back.

Team vs Team Passing Challenge

This challenge is similar to the Chip Pass Challenge from 2023 and the Pass endurance Hardware Challenge from 2021, with the added twist that two teams compete against each other trying to complete as many passes as possible.
