Tozkoparan Robot – Basic Level
A competition category aimed at enabling middle school students to develop autonomous robots capable of line following, target detection, and arrow shooting tasks.
🎯 Objective
In this category, autonomous Tozkoparan robots follow white lines on a black track, detect colored zones, perform arrow shooting at designated targets, and aim to complete the course accurately in the shortest possible time. The objective is to help students gain proficiency in mechanical design, sensor usage, software development, and control algorithms.
🏹 Theme
The competition theme is inspired by the legendary Ottoman archers known for their exceptional archery skills and referred to as “Tozkoparan”. Robots autonomously follow a predefined track, shoot arrows at a target board, and complete the course.
