4.5 m Footrace

In the last ROBO-ONE 20th, 9 m Footrace was carried out. It was clear that robot were divided into two groups, one was robots could walk the 9 m course within 1 minute and the other was fell down from the course.  All robots walked the course within 1 minute passed the preliminary competition.

Four meters and 50 cm Footrace was carried out as the preliminary competition to select 46 robots and to decide the tournament order.  Upper 46 robots could attend the tournament.  One hundred-four robots joined the preliminary 4.5 m Footrace.

Robots had to walk 4.5 m course with 90 cm width within 30 seconds.   Each robot time record taken 4.5 m walk, or the distance from start point if robot could not walk within 30 seconds, or robot fell down from the course was recorded.

Each robot tried just one time Footrace. The 4.5 m course seemed to be not flat in some parts and the center of the course was pasted sponsor advertise label. Therefore, it was not easy to walk through 4.5 m course for most of robots. A lot of  robots ran out of the course including Frosty, which seemed to be the fastest robot.  The result is here.
