Problem Statement

In this collaborative robotics competition, teams face the challenge of replicating specific block patterns near their main Apriltag without direct communication or crossing into the opponent's territory. The objective is to strategically gather and position the right types and numbers of blocks at designated stations, mirroring the arrangements set by the opposing team, under constraints that include centralized block starting positions and the prohibition of digital interaction between teams. Points are awarded for accurately completed patterns, with penalties for excess blocks, emphasizing efficiency and strategic planning. This competition tests the teams' abilities to strategize, interpret non-verbal cues through robot actions, and collaborate indirectly to achieve the highest cumulative score, fostering skills in precision, teamwork, and innovative problem-solving within a uniquely constrained environment.
