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 2025 technical challenges. Source code associated with these challenges can be found on GitHub.

Team vs Team Passing Challenge

The passing challenge from 2024 will be repeated. The only difference this year will be the ranking system. In short, a team’s ranking will not be determined by the total amount of passes made over all matches. It will be determined by relative strength over the opposing teams. A more detailed motivation and explanation can be found here here. For any questions regarding this technical challenge, please reach out to TC member Emiel Steerneman.
