Competitor Zone

The ERC is a university team competition, therefore a minimum of 75% of the team must be students, PhD students or recent university graduates. Cooperation with specialists in various fields is allowed, however, the documentation required in the competition should be prepared only by team members. More information on this subject can be found in the regulations, which you can download from our website.

The current registration schedule is available on our website, in the Competitor Zone tab. If you want to submit your team, start by reading the regulations, where you will find all the necessary information. Then download the attachments listed in them, fill them out and send them to teams@roverchallenge.eu. Remember that it is necessary to send ALL the data listed in the regulations along with the consent form.

First of all, do not underestimate the phase of preparing the documentation. Many teams treat it as an introduction to further activities, but it is a very important element of the competition. First, the ability to prepare it is essential in the work of most engineers. Secondly, the number of teams that will take part in the competition is limited and it is on the basis of the documentation that the jury will decide whether you will be part of that group.

No. We are not able to provide such support equally for all teams and it would not be fair to help a few chosen ones. We try to help you by giving up on the entry fee. Besides, searching for sponsors on your own is very important and will be a valuable lesson for you in the future. It is worth considering from the very beginning whether and how you can commercialize your work in order to prove to potential sponsors that it is worth investing in you.

Registration and participation in the competition do not require any fees to the organizer.

Remote control of robots is to equalize the chances of all participants and enable teams to participate from anywhere. So, there is no reason why you should not be near the track then, but you have to remember that the same rules apply to you and to the other participants. Even when you are close to the robot, you have to control it only with the use of a specially prepared platform.

The prizes for the winners and awarded teams are announced every year, before the final of the event, and information about them is available, among others, in the News tab.
