2021 OnStage Competition Overview
Teams will be asked to submit a technical description paper and program code before the event.
Team will be asked to record and submit a Recorded Technical Video Demonstration. The presentations will be judged by our team of international OnStage judges. After the judging the technical presentations will be made available online.
Teams will perform a live-streamed performance. Teams will be invited to sign up for a time slot for their performance and given a window of time in which to complete their performance. Teams will be responsible for placing a camera to stream the performance from the viewpoint of a judge. Guidance will be given to teams with an opportunity for a practice session to test the setup.
Depending on the schedule teams will be offered one or two performances. Performances will be recorded and made available online after all judging has been completed.
All teams will be invited to a private technical interview session with the judges. Teams will be invited to sign up for a time slot for their interview. The interviews will be recorded to assist with judging but will not be available for public viewing.
The Awards will be allocated in accordance to the OnStage 2021 rules.
Onstage SuperTeam competition
One of the highlights of an international competition is a SuperTeam event with a foreign team. The SuperTeams will be formed with consideration for the time zones of the teams.
Teams will be tasked with developing a performance which involves all the teams developing a robotic performance on a particular theme. Specifics of the organisation will be released in due course.
