The Challenge
Design, build, and program a robot that can follow an elevated wooden maze without falling off. Completing the maze before the time limit adds bonus points to the team’s score.
Video
How It Works
If the robot falls off the maze before reaching the finish line and there is still time remaining, return it to the starting line and attempt to complete the maze again.
A robot is considered to have fallen off the maze when any of its wheels is COMPLETELY off or makes contact with the surface supporting the track.
What You Need

About this challenge
The robot must be able to move, without external sensors or remote control, as follows:
- Move forward any distance,
- Then make a turn in any direction of -45° or more,
- Then move forward any distance.
The robot may not use any external sensors to help it follow the maze; however, wheel encoders are allowed.
Only robots with a minimum of two wheels and one caster (pivot or free) wheel are permitted.
- Volume of the robot must not exceed 65030 cm3. Click Here for the Video! and subscribe to the official RoboRAVE Network channel.
