This event requires each team to build one manually controlled (wired/wireless) robot which would compete against each other in a game of soccer. The normal rules of soccer apply.

If it occurs so within the D region, it would be considered as a penalty. In the event of a penalty only one bot is permitted from each side to stay in the arena. The penalty kick would be taken from a distance of 60 cm (edge of the D).

• Second round will be on knockout basis.
• Each team is awarded points based on the formula:
50*G - 30*O -5*F where, G is the number of goals scored by your bot. F is the number of fouls. O is the number of self goals.
