RoboCup 2022 – Technical Challenges

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 2022 technical challenges. Source code associated with these challenges can be found on GitHub.


Vision Blackout Challenge

We will have the blackout challenge again to continue improving onboard sensing. There will be multiple phases with increasing difficulty again. This time, the focus will be on robot interaction: Two robots will need to collaborate with each other to score a goal.
