The objective of student robotics competition is to demonstrate the use of an autonomous ground robotic system within in the game field grid to perform tasks such as, spotting the location of fire, aiding fire fighting by carrying firehose spool and laying the hose to the location of fire. The robot will be tested by having a challenging terrain with obstacles to avoid along its way to locating fire and firehose laying. This year\u2019s competition is sponsored by\u00a0IEEE Region 5.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Eligibility<\/h2><\/div>

The competition is open to\u00a0teams of no more than 5 and no less than 2 undergraduate students<\/strong>\u00a0who are enrolled in a college or University within the IEEE Region 5 boundaries. The competition encourages a multidisciplinary approach to robot development and recognizes the participation of students who may already be members of SAE, ASME, EEGS, etc. Teams should not include any non-undergraduate students.\u00a0The teams should submit their intent to compete form.<\/strong>\u00a0Teams are selected from the submitted pool on a first come first served basis. Selected teams will be invited to register for the R5 conference and participate in the competition. Team substitutions are at the discretion of the competition chair.<\/p>\n

Only one team is allowed from each IEEE Student Branch or IEEE-HKN Chapter due to space limitations.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rules & Guidelines<\/h2><\/div>

The Student robotics Competition will be conducted and judged according to the rules document posted in the 2025 IEEE R5 student robotics competition website (see registration link below). The teams interested in contesting are encouraged to have a look at this document at the earliest. As with the previous years the robotics competition rules are subject to modification under required circumstances. To keep up-to-date with any such changes please fill out the intent to compete to receive email updates or join the IEEE R5 discord group. The schedule will be as follows:<\/p>\n
