Overview

​

​

Task Master is a dual-mode robotics challenge combining

autonomous programming and precision remote control.

Teams must design robots that perform consistently in

both AI-driven and manual operation phases.

​

​

Age Groups & Team Setup

 

Elementary (8–12 born 2014–2018)

Junior (11–15 born 2011–2015)

Senior (14–19 born 2007–2012)

Each team consists of 2–3 students with 1 coach.
All building and programming must be completed by students.

⚫️ Autonomous Phase: no external input allowed

⚫️ Remote Phase: controlled using MATRIX joystick

⚫️ Starting size: ≤ 25 × 25 × 25 cm

⚫️ Weight limit: 1.2 kg

 

 

Match Format

​

-  30s Autonomous + 90s Remote Control

-  At least 2 rounds per team

-  Rankings based on best performance and tie-break rules

 

 

Design & Parts

​

​

Elementary: MATRIX structural parts only

Junior & Senior: custom parts (3D printing / laser cutting) allowed

Motors, sensors, and electronics must be MATRIX-compatible
