TIR Beach Cleaner

Design a beach-cleaning robot! Your bot must autonomously detect, collect, transport, and deposit waste scattered across a tropical island arena, navigating with precision to avoid falling off its coast into the sea, and ensuring complete safety for the human placed on the island. This category celebrates creativity, teamwork, and environmental responsibility, encouraging participants to combine engineering skill with ecological awareness to solve a real-world problem.

Your mission: Gather resources wisely, avoid boundaries, protect the human and the environment, and, if you’re ready for a greater challenge, sort collected waste to aim for higher scores. Are you prepared to bring your innovation to the shore and engineer a cleaner, safer beach?
