RCAP Rescue Entry

In the RCAP Rescue Line Entry League, teams must design, build, and program a robot that can autonomously rescue victims in a hazardous area without any human assistance. The robot must safely pass through a door, enter and exit designated rooms, avoid obstacles, and locate and transport survivors to a safe zone.

In the RCAP Rescue Maze Entry League, teams create a robot that can navigate a maze autonomously to locate and rescue victims. The robot must detect and identify victims, avoid obstacles, and signal their locations to humans.
