FAQ
The RoboMaster University Championship (RMUL) is organized by local academic institutions and universities and open to nearby colleges and universities. Its purpose is to promote regional exchanges in robotics technology among universities, foster a strong academic atmosphere, and support local technological innovation and development.
Rules Overview
In the 2026 season, the competition includes three events: the 3V3 Match, the Infantry Match, and the Engineer Challenge.
In 3V3 Match, each side must independently develop and deploy Infantry, Hero, and Sentry robots. Teams engage in tactical combat within a designated arena. The side that achieves greater battlefield control can cause the opponent to lose Victory Points. The first team to reduce the opponent’s Victory Points to zero wins the match.
Infantry robots face off in 1v1 combat on the battlefield, attempting to shoot the opponent’s armor modules. At the end of the match, the team whose Infantry has the higher HP is declared the winner.
Each team’s Engineer must complete an energy-unit assembly task. Teams are scored and ranked based on the overall difficulty of the assembly and the speed of completion.
