Chocolate robots competed for the fourth time

The creators also given free choice of ways to control the robot. Competitions were held in three categories.

Robots were required to undergo two-meter distance of no more than 5 minutes. The second category – to “shoot” and knock down plastic cups, which are candy TIROL-CHOCO. Third – carrying heavy loads, ie candy, who uploaded the participants in the competition another robot.

Participated in the competition, six robots. Most of all points scored in the voting robot ‘Fuga’, manufactured in the company Igaa. Second place in the robot Chocon-4 from the company Kenta. The third was a robot BT-R.
