Knowledge Research is the official equipment supplier for the Competition.
The track consists of a large wooden board that serves as a base, on top of which is spread and secured the canvas, which contains the colors, lines, and areas where the robots move and the missions are carried out. Wooden walls are attached around the board, forming a low perimeter to protect the balls and robots from falling off the surface. The entire structure is placed and secured on tables, which are used to give the track an ideal viewing height. The dimensions of the track are specific and are listed in the rulebook, while the dimensions of the lines within the canvas are also predetermined. Outside the boundaries of the track, the margins may be larger, especially at the points where the wooden walls are fixed. The game is played with this layout.
