RCJ RESCUE LINE

Robots identify victims within re-created disaster scenarios, varying in complexity from line-following on a flat surface to negotiating paths through obstacles on uneven terrain. 

The field shows the route (black line on white tiles) to the victims, which the autonomous robots should follow. The route includes crossings, ramps and other obstacles. The victims then must be saved at the end of the route
