In the 2018 SDC, however, it wont be teams of people on the playing field, but teams of robots competing in a four-way football competition. Challenging student teams to use their imagination and technical design skills, the Student Design Competition for 2018, Robot Football, will be comprised of a series of 10-minute matches conducted round-robin style, with a semi-final and final round determining the winning teams. Navigating their players though a small scale soccer field via remote control, students will maneuver these athletically inclined robots to score goals with tennis balls. Student Design Competition challenges will be held during the spring 2018 ASME E-Fest events.
