Rules Overview

The RMUT 2022 will include technical challenges for Standard, Engineer, Dart System and Hero. It consists of Standard Racing and Smart Firing, Engineer Mining, Dart Targeting and Hero Lob Shot.
In the "Standard Racing and Smart Firing", the Standard (newly added Balancing Standard for 2022 season) should race through complex terrains of the Battlefield and activate the Power Rune. The highest ring number and the completion time will affect the final scores.
In the "Engineer Mining", the Engineer should obtain minerals at the Resource Island and exchange them into gold coins at the designated point as fast as possible. The number of minerals obtained and the speed of exchanging will affect the final scores.
In the "Dart Targeting", the Dart System should launch Darts to hit the Outpost and the Base. The number of strikes and the strike time will all affect the final scores.
In the "Hero Lob Shot", the Hero should shoot the Base at the Sniper Point with 42mm projectiles.The number of strikes and the strike time will all affect the final scores.

The RoboMaster University Technical Challenge is open to universities around the world. If you love robots and hope to show your talent and wit, come and join us!

Starting a team

Each team must represent a university or college, gathering students from mechanical, electronic, control, software, computer, publicity and other related majors to form a research and development team. Regular team members must be full-time junior college students, undergraduates, postgraduates, or doctoral students during the period from September 2023 to August 2024 with student status at the school of the participating team.
Number of participants per team: 2-8
Requirement: In principle, only one team is eligible to participate from each school. Two to five schools that do not have their own teams can form an intercollegiate team.

Register for the competition

At the official registration stage, Login to the RoboMaster website and click the “Registration Center” to register your personal and team information. You can choose to create a new team or join an existing one.

Get support

Material Discount Support: Participating teams can purchase the required materials at educational discount prices with shipping and customs duties exempted. Teams that meet certain criteria can also enjoy an additional limited discount on the Standard Kits. For more details, see RMU 2022 Instructions for Purchasing Materials.
Participant support: The RoboMaster Organizing Committee will provide comprehensive support for participants, including project management, sponsorship, promotion, and technical research and development. The RoboMaster Training System encompasses the RoboMaster Participant Training Guide, R&D knowledge base, course salons, open source materials, intramural challenges, helping teams to quickly understand the event and get started.

Technical assessment

In the R&D stage, participating teams must take part in the technical assessment by submitting videos, pictures, documents at the specified time to show the progress of competition preparation to the RoboMaster Organizing Committee.
The RoboMaster Organizing Committee will decide whether the participating teams are qualified for the competition according to the progress of robot development shown in each round of technical assessment.

Get qualified

Teams that have passed the Technical Assessment will be qualified for the Mainland China/International Regional Competition.
Teams advance from the Regional Competitions will enter the Final Tournament.

Q1: What teams are suitable for the RMUT?

A1: The RMUT consists of several challenges. As it requires only one robot for each challenge, it is suitable for teams with less funding and manpower to focus on technological breakthroughs in a single direction. Teams should first register for the Regional Competition, pass the Technical Assessment to participate in the Regional Competition and finally compete for an entry to the Final Tournament.

Q2: How do I obtain official information released by the RoboMaster Organizing Committee?

A2:The RoboMaster Organizing Committee will update important information on the official RoboMaster website and forum. After the team successfully registers, the RoboMaster Organizing Committee will contact the captain and synchronize important information to the team through the official website, email, WeChat, and other channels. For more details, see RoboMaster Organizing Committee Official Contact Details and FAQ Rules.

Q3:How do I purchase necessary materials after registration?

A3: Teams can purchase accessories and kits from the official website, but they need to design and develop their own robots for the competition. The RoboMaster Organizing Committee will provide exclusive material discounts for the registered teams. For more details, see RMU 2022 Instructions for Purchasing Materials.

Q4: How much should our team budget for the competition preparation?

A4: It depends on how much money is actually available. The investment per robot is approximately RMB 10,000 to RMB 20,000 and the travel budget depends on a team’s distance to the competition venue. For more information, please refer to the RoboMaster 2022 Reference Budget Table. The Organizing Committee encourages teams to increase income, reduce expenditure and learn about advanced management and R&D methods to control costs.

Q5:How do I improve our team's technical and managerial skills?

A5: The RoboMaster Training System encompasses the RoboMaster Participant Training Guide, R&D knowledge base, course salons, open source materials, and intramural challenges, helping teams to quickly understand the event and get started.
