Eurobot 2008 Rules
Eurobot rules change every year. In 2008, robots were supposed to "go" to Mars , where they must collect rocks and minerals that potentially contain living organisms . For their preservation, minerals must be kept at the same temperature as they were collected on the surface of the planet. The lead time is 90 seconds.
Eurobot Junior 2008 Rules
Junior rules also change every year. In 2008, robots will have to release water from the lakes and send it to the river, raise the solar panels to start generating energy, and also launch windmills by pushing washers from the field. As an additional task, the teams could deliver water from the central lake to the river. The lead time is 90 seconds. The teams had to make a controlled robot that could perform all the basic tasks.
