Qualification Process for the World Championship Competition:
All RoboCupRescue Robot League teams should use nearby regional open competitions to:
1. practice your deployment strategies,
2. familiarize yourselves with the arenas and rules, and
3. demonstrate your capabilities to the Technical Committee.
Teams that demonstrate competent and reliable systems at the regional open competition, along with a descriptive TDP, will always be favored for inclusion in the World Championships.
For example. this year's RoboCupRescue Robot League regional open competitions include:
- Japan Open
- US Open
- Iran Open
- Dutch Open
... and we are actively trying (but need help from locals) to establish regional open competitions in other areas too.
Unfortunately, due to the close scheduling of the regional opens and the World Championship each year, the qualification process can't be completely sequential. So the Technical Committee qualifies an initial set of teams for the World Championship based on your team's submitted TDP, and experience in previous regional opens. The Technical Committee usually keeps a few slots open to include a final few capable teams which emerge from the regional open competitions in the current year as well. When there is no regional open competition in the region of the World Championship, the technical committee typically qualifies proportionally more teams from the local region, while encouraging them to try to participate in other regional open competitions as well. So the best route to participate in a World Championship is through a regional open competition, and we encourage all new teams to start there.
You'll find the lessons are well worth it.
Generally each year the Technical Committee looks at the following criteria to qualify teams for the World Championship:
1. Your TDP describes improvements to your robot based on lessons learned from successfully competing in a semi-final round in a previous World Championship, or
2. Your TDP describes improvements to your robot based on lessons learned from winning a previous regional open or best-in-class competition, or
3. Your TDP describes a particularly interesting or innovative approach that the Technical Committee considers likely to perform well at the competition even without previous experience at a regional open. This is especially possible if you can demonstrate your capabilities convincingly within representative environments through:
a) video of the robot performing any or all of the requisite capabilities:
b) performing any or all of the above in an upcoming regional open competitionSome of the qualifications may be granted by the Technical Committee to include particular countries, technologies that the league should be investigating, or to support other league outreach efforts.
