A total of 36 teams advanced to Friday's final from 171 robots and 4 November preliminary rounds, of which 6
and 1 university team from the Cybernetics and Robotics program at FEE CTU. As always, the finals were held in the Zenger Auditorium of FEE CTU at 13 Charles Square.
"The performance of the robots was absolutely breathtaking"
"This year, the robots had to clear as many balls as possible from the playing field in 90 seconds and at the same time they were allowed to throw unwanted balls into the opponent's field, thus complicating his work," says the main organizer of the Robo Competition Martin Hlinovský from the Department of Control Engineering of FEE CTU. "But the performance of the robots today was absolutely amazing, even compared to the pre-rounds - the students simply tuned the best rovers so that they were super efficient and made a minimum of mistakes. Another special feature of this final was the success of the university team in 2nd place. Normally one or two teams from FEE CTU enter the Robo Competition for high schools, but they are usually not as successful and motivated as the high school students." According to the rules, the robots had to be assembled from approved kit components and function autonomously, i.e. without control by voice, Bluetooth or other communication channel.

The winners will get into the FEL CTU without entrance exams
The competition is traditionally held under the auspices of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, general partner
BTL Medical Development a.s. was the general sponsor of the 16th edition, other sponsors were MathWorks, HUMUSOFT, Škoda Auto, FANUC, SICK, Applifting and Strand. In addition to the material prizes from these partners, the members of the winning teams received one important reward - they can start their studies at the Czech Technical University
without an entrance exam. This of course does not apply to the team Řízky >> lecture linguebry, which took
2nd place and whose members are already studying at the Prague Technical University.
