What’s new? ERC’23 on-site competition

GENERAL CHANGES AND DOCUMENTATION

  • More teams will be qualified for finals (20–25, TBC – depends on the schedule);
  • Max. mass of the rover increased to 75kg (to accommodate bigger batteries, drilling mechanism etc.);
  • General rover requirements to be provided by the organizer, detailed requirements can be derived by the teams. Test plan has to be provided by the teams, results of the tests have to be checked against the requirements;
  • The requested content of the documentation will be modified (e.g. more details about the design will be required instead of the previous ‘project assumptions’ and ‘architecture (…)’ sections);
  • Schedule will be modified so do not be afraid that you will not have time for delivery of the documentation.

 

What’s new? We’re actively working on formalizing the certification for the ERC finalists! What does this mean? We’re planning on implementing verifiable certificates (for finalists) that will provide you with a formal document certifying your professional industry development in jury-approved simplified learning ‘syllabus’.
