About this opportunity
RoboQuest Senior is Kr8ivity League's national robotics competition for students in Grades 9 to 12, who design and build a manually controlled robot to navigate a maze arena in the shortest time.
Teams of up to three students build a wirelessly controlled Maze Solver robot using BO DC motors, competing in an online mentoring round followed by an in-person Zonal round where the robot must navigate a maze arena and reach the target zone. Points are awarded for speed, bonus power markers, and a clean run with no wall penalties.
Participants develop skills in robot design, navigation strategy, and control systems. Zonal winners advance to the Grand Finale, held in person at IIT Delhi, where they compete for national recognition.
Rounds and format
The competition runs in three stages: an online Mentoring round covering rules and robot specifications, an in-person Zonal round where teams manually navigate their Maze Solver robot through a maze arena revealed on the day of the event, and a National Finale where zonal winners compete at IIT Delhi.
How entries are judged
Scored on time taken to complete the maze (up to 5 points per second remaining), 300 points per power marker reached, a 5-point penalty per wall hit, and a 100-point bonus for a clean run with no penalties.
Selection process
Zonal winners from each zone qualify for the National Finale based on their maze-run score.
Academic details
Difficulty: Intermediate
What's covered
Students design, build, and manually operate a robot that navigates a maze arena within the motor, battery, and dimension constraints set by the competition rules.
Frequently asked questions
What robot specifications does the Maze Solver robot need to meet?
The robot must use BO DC motors with a maximum speed of 300 RPM, a battery not exceeding 12V, and dimensions not exceeding 16 cm x 16 cm x 15 cm (with a 5 percent tolerance). It must be wirelessly controlled; mobile phones cannot be used to control it.
How is the Zonal round scored?
Teams earn points based on how quickly they complete the maze, with bonus points for reaching power markers and a penalty for hitting maze walls. A clean run with no penalties earns an additional bonus.
What happens at the National Finale?
Zonal winners from each zone travel to IIT Delhi to compete live before an expert jury, racing their Maze Solver robot in person for the national title and recognition on the Kreativity League Hall of Fame.
