First RoboCup Qualifying Tournament in Kassel on February 21 and 22

In the "Line" discipline, which is divided into two age groups, the vehicles have to follow a line, which can also be interrupted at times, forming intersections where they have to turn in the right direction. There are also obstacles that have to be driven around or over. Steep ramps can only be climbed by those who have balanced their vehicles well. Finally, balls have to be collected and transported to a specified corner of the playing field.

Two differently difficult tasks await the young tinkerers in the two "Maze" disciplines. A labyrinth is to be traversed and heat sources or red crosses are to be found. There, so-called "rescue kits" are to be dropped. Whoever finds his way back to the starting tile at the end gets extra points.

The event takes place in the large columned hall of the former engineering school (University of Kassel, Wilhelmshöher Allee 73, entrance C). Young and old are invited to marvel, ask questions and cross their fingers. Admission is, of course, free.
