How the competition works

How the competition works

Each school team designs, builds and programs a robot to compete in 5-a-side robot football matches.

Matches are played in two 10-minute halves on a standard UISA RoboSoccer pitch. Robots must operate autonomously or via approved remote control, depending on the age category.

The league runs as a single round-robin: every team plays every other team once across eleven matchdays. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and none for a defeat. The league table is ranked by points, then goal difference, then goals scored.

Fair play and safety are taken seriously — robots are inspected before each matchday to ensure they meet the competition's technical and safety guidelines.
