2-on-2 teams of autonomous mobile robots play in a highly dynamic environment, tracking a special light-emitting ball in an enclosed, land-marked field.

Team Size

Since FarzCupJunior embraces teamwork and collaboration among team members, a team should have more than one member to form a FarzCupJunior team to participate in the International event.

A team member(s) can be shared between teams.

Maximum team size is 6 members for FarzCupJunior Soccer.

Team Members

Minimum age is 13 FarzCupJunior Tehran, 2019. From RCJ 2018 there will be no division between the primary and secondary age categories:

• Teams with all student members age 13 to 19 years old are considered Junior.

Age is counted as of July 1st 2019.

The plan is to bring the minimum age to the international events to 14-year-old by 2020.
2017 (Japan) – was 11-year-old
2018 (Canada) – was 12-year-old
2019 (Australia) – 13-year-old
2020 (TBD) – 14-year-old

Every team member need to carry out a technical role for the team (robot design and construction, sensors and actuators, programming, etc.), this should be identified at the registration. The actual categories will be announced before the registration opens. In addition, each member is expected to explain his/her technical role and should be able to answer any questions at the technical judging.
