No, to achieve the bonus points in a challenge, you must first finish the main required task and then you become eligible for receiving the bonus points.

At any time, the vehicle without any propulsion will stay afloat on the water surface and would not sink if dropped or launched into the water.

The weight in water would not exceed the 500gm. More details will be available for all teams.

In a crane basket that will be provided by UMVC.

The locations will be labelled, and you will need to report the location by taking pictures of the labels. More details will be provided later.

The swimming pool floor will be labeled (divided into zones and each of them will be labeled). Label type will be provided in mission details.

You will need to take measurements for selected artefact dimensions, measuring techniques is opened for team’s innovations.

Same structure with different mission details and labeling.

Difference in tasks.

The base station is required to be connected to the competition server through RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

100 points, in addition to unlimited bonus score.

Kindly, refer to the rules and mission details it is self-explained in both documents.

No images will be provided before the competition.

No, the black-box is a box with significant features that will be provided in the competition orientation day.

Kindly, refer to the rules and mission details it is self-explained in both documents.

No details will be provided before the competition.

Yes, under condition that all arms (if exist multiple) must pass the technical inspection and safety regulations. Also Arm(s) must be approved by the UMVC judges, and also the ROV with any used arm must obey the size and dimensions constrains.

If we complete part of competition, can we be rewarded part of points?

Is it means our vehicle cannot provide any propulsion, when it is suspending?

What’s the shape and weight of wrecks should we carry?

Should our vehicle carry wercks with a crane basket, or just put wrecks in a crane basket provided by you?

What’s the form of “Reporting the location”? Should we provide a specific coordinate, or just place markers?

What’s the working principle of “underwater markers”?

What shall we measure? The length of the artifacts? The material? Or others?
