The 19th ROBO-ONE is held as the tournament with 32 robots which are winners of the local robot competitions and upper place robots in the preliminary competition, 9 m footrace on March 19th.


Fifteen robots joined the competition. Each robots tried just once time race. Therefore, some robots ran out of the course including Frosty, which seemed to be the fastest robot. Eight robots could reach the goal. The winner was Deshumit. It took 15.30 seconds. The 2nd place was Dyuminus, 21.46 seconds . The 3rd place was BLACK TIGER NEO, my custum-built robot, 25.38 seconds.  Deshumit got the right to attend the 19th ROBO-ONE tournament. It seems that the borderline time of passing the preliminary competition, 9 m footrace on March 19th is 20 seconds. Videos of the footrace were as follows;


DYNAMIZER-GP, 33.66 seconds


Bally, 55.75 seconds
