Participating robots will be checked and tested the day before the contest. They will be checked again before starting the matches. Passing this check test is a necessary condition to allow the robot to participate in the contest. In the other case, the robot will not be allowed to participate in the contest. The above information is checked and, to the best of my knowledge, is correct.
