Technical Assessment Specifications （11/15/2018) RoboMaster 2019 Robotics Competition
2018-11-15
Appendix 3
Technical Assessment Specifications
All teams that compete in the RoboMaster 2019 Robotics Competition must complete a Technical Assessment in accordance with the requirements of the RoboMaster Organizing Committee and within the time specified.
The purpose of the Technical Assessment is to demonstrate the technical skills of a team, better prepare the team for the competition, and help them in their future development. During the Technical Assessment, the RoboMaster Organizing Committee encourages teams to be innovative and not stick to a rigid structure. Teams should also ensure that their report is clear and contains sufficient data. The RoboMaster Organizing Committee does not accept Technical Assessments that are overly rigid and or those that contain inaccuracies.
Only after completing the Technical Assessment within the specified deadline may teams move on to the next step of the assessment and become eligible for Warm-up Competition, Chinese Regional Competition, International Regional Competition, and Wild Card Competition, followed by the Final Tournament.
The schedule for the RoboMaster 2019 Robotics Competition Technical Assessment is as follows:
