Dear Robot Enthusiast, Hobbyist, Young Scientist and Engineers,

Greetings!

It is with great enthusiasm that we invite everyone to this year's National Robotics
Competition (NRC) 2024. With the collaboration of a few regions and generous hosts,
we will have face-to-face competitions in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Create, invent, and innovate robots for this year's theme UN SDG 6 (Clean water and
sanitation), and UN SDG 14 (Life below water). You may use and improve previous
projects. Be this year's best young engineer and scientist! Start preparing and
practicing. Most of all, learn, invent, and have fun!

Registration begins on June 15 and ends one month before the contest date. Register
on or before August 15, 2024 to avail an early bird discount. Some of the events will
have a limited number of participants so don't be late.

in the same location for FIVE (5) seconds, the other robot wins the Yuhkoh
point.

the other robot gets the Yuhkoh point.
4.4.5.1. For the remaining rounds, the referee advises the player to press
the start button in a delayed manner so it will move after the 5
second “start call”. In such conditions, the robot without a 5
seconds delay can only place the robot immediately behind the

point.
4.4.8. If the 3rd round ends and no winner is found, a 4th round will be played.
Both robots must be placed on the ring with its BACK touching the Shikiri
line.. When all rounds are completed and NO WINNER is found, the robot
with the lighter weight gets the winning point.
