FAQ

Scenario Design	Q: Will you change the scenario of the Competition every year?	A: We would like to encourage participants to apply theories learnt while designing and building their robots as well as developing strategies to complete the missions. Therefore, the scenario may change every year to vary the mission types and game field settings.
Fee	Q: Do we need to pay any fee for joining the Competition?	A: Yes. Registration fee for each team is HK$500 and robot material fee for each team is HK$5,000.
Robot Materials	Q: Is it necessary to purchase the robot materials from the organizer?	A: To ensure the fairness of competition, each school team must use the robot materials as assigned by the organizer. However, we understand that some school teams have participated in the Competition and they already have at least 1 set of materials. Hence, except the first-time participating teams, purchasing robot material kit sets from organizer will be optional. If teams did not use the assigned robot materials, the organizer will reserve the right to disqualify the team from the Competition.

At least 2 participants should have different backgrounds from others in the team. they can be: (a) Different gender (b) Different grade (c) Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) (d) Ethnic minorities students (e) Underprivileged students
Support for School Teams	Q: Do we qualify for participating in the Competition if we have not participated in any robot competitions before?	A: The Competition welcomes school teams from any kind of background. We will arrange different activities helping the school teams to have better understanding to their robot material kit set as well as writing suitable code to resolve the problem. Besides, we will provide online tutorials for teachers and students in participating teams. The contents are designed for everyone, even those with no relevant experience/knowledge. We expect participants could gain the basic robotics knowledge and be able to assemble robots through the Competition.
Certificates	Q: Will participants receive any certificates?	A: Every student participant will receive a certificate for participation. Students in the winning teams also receive the certificate.
