The robot designed by the participant will perform tasks without touching the ground and air obstacles. During the summer time, you need to score as many points as possible by completing various tasks.

30 . Lunar craters

The Moon is the closest celestial body to the Earth, on which the interest of mankind is concentrated. Currently, one of the main areas of research is the search for water on the moon. We believe that the creation of cosmodromes on the Moon, observatories with the most powerful telescopes, bases for their maintenance, exploration and extraction of rare minerals is not far off. Water will be needed for drinking, and for technical needs, and to replenish oxygen supplies. Now on the Moon they are looking not for vast water basins, but for ice, which can be located in places protected from the rays of the Sun, for example, at the bottom of some lunar craters. The task "Moon Craters" is intended to create an autonomous Lunokhod capable of overcoming craters and delivering useful rocks to the Lunar Station

In «RTC Cup» Challenge the robot shall pass through the proving ground within the specified time. The proving ground is a reconfigurable obstacle course, a maze, made of cells. The maze made to resemble different indoor and outdoor terrains and obstacles, for search and rescue scenario. For each cell robot gain points, the number of points depend on difficulty of the task, located in the cell. 

"Seeker" category: remote robot control that is visible for the operator.

32 . RTC Cup: Extremal

In «RTC Cup» Challenge the robot shall pass through the proving ground within the specified time. The proving ground is a reconfigurable obstacle course, a maze, made of cells. The maze made to resemble different indoor and outdoor terrains and obstacles, for search and rescue scenario. For each cell robot gain points, the number of points depend on difficulty of the task, located in the cell.
