Game description

Robot Gathering aims to arrive at the point of destination to arrive quickly collects the entire
object given in the game. Carrying object mission priority is higher than completing driving.
So when driving fast and accurate robot is important. Mechatronics related knowledge
production and programming robots using the principle of dynamics, so the basics of robot
learning to understand sufficient on the robot’s own understanding of the need and of the laws
of physics that is applied to the robot and sensor adjustment technology, as well as
programming skills.
