Qualified teams

• Cost: $60/participant

• Zone01 t-shirts received at regional event required - for any oversights or additional participants, t-shirts will cost $20 (children) and $25 (adults) in cash on site.

• Make sure you have all the necessary equipment (robots, computers, chargers, spare parts, power bars, etc.)

• Wi-Fi is not always available. Therefore, do not rely on an internet connection. Make sure to use the downloaded programming app (Spike, EV3, or another), not the online version. Plan to share your cellular data connection if necessary, but only with the headjudge’s permission.

• Participant permutations allowed if necessary (at least 1 original participant must remain on the team)

• Adults and coaches are not allowed in the participants' section or in the competition area, only as spectators.

• It is therefore necessary to ensure that the students already have their lunch in the competition area (and not a delivery that has to be handed to them).

• No practice game mats allowed on the floor - don't bring them! Teams must use the official tables for practice.

• New surprise rules 

• Starting the robot with the brick button (no iPads or laptops allowed at the competition tables)

• Random positioning of objects

  • MERODIAN : Gold coins will be randomly placed on positions B1 through B8 in each round and for each team in the 13–15 and 16–19 age categories

  • ZIPLINE : All age groups: Please read the rules carefully: Colored tiles will be used randomly in each round for each team to determine which switches to activate/deactivate: The judge selects the colors at random at the start of each attempt, and the information can be transmitted to the robot via the colored tiles presented to a color sensor.

 

WRO Teams (Elementary, Junior, Senior)

• • Maximum of 3 participants per team

  • Bluetooth OFF on quarantine table

  • Only one project on the brick

    • EV3: Delete other projects and name project WRO 2025

    • Spike: Download main program to slot 0

 

Future Innovators Teams
Teams will have 6-foot tables at their disposal. Posters may not be hung on the walls at the Science Center. Therefore, please consider using a three-sided display board or other methods for presenting your booth. Each team will have access to an electrical outlet. Presentations may be given in French and/or English.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If your team has qualified for two Zone01 challenges—for example, the Zip Line and the Merodian—and consists of four students, you must split it into two separate teams. This has already been done for you through the team management system; you just need to complete the information.

 

No teams consisting of a single student will be accepted.
