It focuses on education and aims to introduce the larger goals of the RoboCup
project (creating robots) to primary and secondary school children (technically
up to age 19). RCJ organizes 3 types of competitions namely: Rescue, On stage
(Formerly Dance) and Soccer. The first international RoboCupJunior competition
was held in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. Since then, it has been held in
different countries every year. In 2014, it was held in Brazil, 2015 in China
and in 2016 it was held in Germany. Indian RoboCupJunior Foundation has sent
teams to Brazil, China and to Germany.

competitions will be held at 4 zones, namely, South, North, East and West. The
South Zone competitions will be held on 19th November 2016 at Little Flower High School, Abids, (Near Chermas) Hyderabad.
Details
of the South Zone competition are as follows:
Age Limit: Up to 19
years. Students are expected to be able to write programs for their robots
on their own, without significant help from adult mentors. Team members up to
14 are considered primary Team. Teams with any member above age 14 will be
considered as secondary team. Each team should have minimum 2 members and
maximum 4 for Rescue and On stage (Dance) Competitions. You may send maximum of

RESCUE Competition
The competition mission is to locate natural disaster
victims from a building, where the rescue personnel in place need robotic
assistance in dangerous areas.
The Robot has to be fully autonomous and carry out the
mission with no help. This means that it must handle rough terrain (speed
bumps) without getting stuck and claim ramps. When the robot finally finds the
victim then it has to carefully transport it to a safe area where humans can
take over.
On stage (Dance) competition
A Dance performance means that one or more robots and humans
come together to create a performance. RoboCupJunior Dance allows team to
present creative stage performance using autonomous robots that the team have
designed, built and programmed. The Dance challenge is intended to be
open-ended. This includes a whole range of possible performances, for example
dance, storytelling, theatre or an art installation. The performances may
include music but this is optional. Teams are encouraged to be as creative,
innovative and as entertaining as possible.
