... place a tile?

The system is the same, regardless of whether you want to place a Rescue Line or a Rescue Maze Tile. Thanks to our fast and easy click system, your new arena will be ready in no time!

Simply place your tile in the middle of four black patches on your floor or table. Make sure the patches on the tile align with the patches on the floor or table. Then press down on the tile until you hear it click into place. Then your tile is placed :)

If you want to place multiple tiles, we recommend starting with a tile in the corner.

Place the profiles on the tiles and secure them with the M5 x 16 screws. Arrange the 125 mm walls around the perimeter. Place the silver/black evacuation marker between the evacuation markers and secure it between the profiles.

... place RoboCupJunior Rescue Maze Victims?

Simply peel off the victim that you want to place from the sheet. Since the victim itself is self-adhesive, you can now simply place it on the wall.

Keep in mind the Rescue Maze rules for victims that are described in the rules. Apart from that, however, you can place the victim in any orientation that you want.

How to manage a competition?

We recommend using the Competition Management System (CMS), which was specifically designed for hosting RoboCupJunior competitions. The CMS is publicly available on GitHub. You can either host it yourself, or we can host it for you.

The CMS is ideal for competition management, allowing you to plan your arenas, create and manage score sheets and create scoring tables.
Here you can find examples of arena plans created with the CMS.

Here are two examples of scoresheets the CMS can create to help you with your competition:

RoboCupJunior Score Sheet for Rescue Line

RoboCupJunior Score Sheet for Rescue Maze

How to plan for a competition?

You can take a look at our guide below for planning how many arenas you need. These are our recommended quantities of materials, but these can, of course, vary depending on your individual needs. If you need further assistance or would like to discuss your requirements with us, please do not hesitate to contact us!

We recommend the following maximum number of teams per arena per day: These numbers are calculated with a two-hour lunch break, but do not allow time for reconstructing the arenas. If you want to rebuild the arenas in the middle of the day to fit in more runs, We recommend using the following formula to calculate the maximum number of teams: maximum number of teams = (the number of teams in the table below / 2).

If you are setting up the arenas using our competition kits, we recommend that you purchase the number of kits required plus one extra. This gives you more flexibility when planning your arenas and allows you to be more creative. Depending on the level of your competition and/or your plans, it might make sense to buy more or fewer additional arenas. If you would like our advice on this, please feel free to contact us!
