Team Description Paper (TDP)

All teams from this year should submit a Team Description Paper (TDP).  The TDP is limited to 6 pages maximum and must be submitted in PDF format. This report fully describes the scientific aspects of your robot system and your research interests, includes a summary of previous relevant achievements in research and development as well as publications, and mentions prior performance in FIRA competitions.

 

The TDP must follow the LNCS format which can be downloaded from  http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Please pay special attention to the “Author guidelines” that you’ll be able to find there. Teams that do not follow the LNCS formatting and style guidelines will not be qualified. 

 

FIRA Youth

Teams that are represented by a FIRA Chapter must qualify and register via their FIRA Chapter. Before registering your Youth team, you must ensure the team is qualified. Please contact your FIRA regional representative for all questions concerning qualification.

 

Teams that do not yet have a chapter may contact FIRA HQ directly for qualification. In this case, they should submit a two page write-up in English describing their previous experience in robotics and their motivation for joining the FIRA competition.
