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.

 

 

Core Robot Requirements

 

⚫️ One MATRIX controller only (Mini R4 / Mini 2.0+ / Micro)

⚫️ Autonomous Phase: no external input allowed

⚫️ Remote Phase: controlled using MATRIX joystick

⚫️ Starting size: ≤ 25 × 25 × 25 cm

⚫️ Weight limit: 1.2 kg

 

​

Design & Parts

​

​

Elementary: Full MATRIX system only

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

Power & Sensing Components: All controllers, motors, and sensors must be MATRIX brand only.

​

※ No limits on electrical components as long as they

fit within a single controller conectivity and weight limit.

​

※ To ensure fairness, all robots must use a single MATRIX controller, and

all power & sensing components are strictly limited to official MATRIX products.
