Robomaster is a competition hosted by DJI. It is one of the largest robotics competitions in the world, featuring participants from over 400 universities worldwide. Its website is located here:
RoboMaster Robotics Competition
There are two main sub-competitions of the competition:
The University Championship features 7v7 robot matches in the following dedicated Arena:
Side view of the battlefield.
Each team designs seven robots that compete in an e-sport-style game (MOBA specifically). The goal is to “damage” the enemy’s units, such as robots, outposts, and base, by shooting projectiles. Damage will be counted only if the projectiles hit specific force sensors (we call them Armor Plates) located on the enemy.
Different buffs are available during different game stages, and robots have to complete different tasks to obtain these buffs (such as hitting the rotary plates in a given order at the middle of the field).
An economic system is also used where the “Engineer” robot (explained later) can complete different tasks to gain coins for the team to buy different utilities such as ammo, air support, dart/missile system…
There is also an experience system where robots can level up by doing damage or completing tasks and gain boosts in barrel heat, chassis power, max health…
The competition challenges students to build their own robots. During the process, a wide set of skills is required:
