Tug Of War

The Tug of War challenge tests the strength, strategy, and mechanical design of robots as they engage in a head-to-head battle. Teams must design and build a robot using LEGO (for junior category) or non-LEGO (for senior category) kits to compete in a tug of war.

The goal is to pull the opposing team’s robot across the center line or hold your ground for the duration of the match. Teams compete in a designated playground area (244 cm x 120 cm) with a 70 cm rope, while adhering to strict robot size (25 cm x 25 cm) and weight (2 kg) constraints. Each match has time limits, making this a thrilling test of engineering, strategy, and resilience.
