IEEE LARC VSSS

The VSSS competition challenges teams to develop cutting-edge miniature robots capable of high-precision movement and intelligent decision-making on a compact field. Your mission? Engineer agile, autonomous robots that master fast-paced gameplay through innovative hardware and software solutions – pushing the limits of small-scale robotics.

Your mission: Design and program robots to navigate a 150cm × 130cm matte-black wooden field (with 5cm walls) with ping-pong table-like texture. The arena features corner triangles to prevent ball traps, demanding perfect control and strategy. Teams must actively follow Discord updates and clarify any rules – staying informed is crucial for success.

How To start

Read the rules, build your robot, and stay connected on Discord and email for updates (including hotel discounts). If you need a visa invitation letter, you can request one. Then, make sure you complete these steps by the listed dates:

• Thursday, September 25th – Pre-register your team using [this form].

• Monday, October 6th – Pay on the [ticketing page] to confirm registration.

• Friday, October 24th – Submit your TDP* using [this form].

• Wednesday, October 29th (4 pm) – Arrive in Monterrey and check in.

*A TDP is a brief technical document where each team presents their project, including team details, design, strategies, and results. Its purpose is to share approaches and foster knowledge exchange.
