4. The color of the line can be black on a white floor or white on a black floor.
5. The width of the line will be less than 2 cm.
6. The participant can conduct practice runs on the track during construction time under the referee’s supervision.

7. Game Rules

1. The  minimum  construction time  including practice  time  will  be  1  hour.  Construction time will vary depending on the difficulty of the mission.
2. Except the robot controller, the robot must be built during the construction time.
3. There  is  no  limitation  on  the  size  of  the  robot.  However,  if  the  participant  cannot participate in the assigned playground the team will be disqualified.
4. Direct  control  by  the  participants  is  not  allowed  via  any  means  including  wired  and wireless means ; with the exception of starting the robot at the beginning of the game.
