Introduction

In the Rescue Junior competition small autonomous robots must follow a track which is a black line outlined on a white background. Throughout this track there are several "victims" to be detected by the robot during its journey. In addition to the "victims", the track may have obstacles (which require the robot to abandon the runway temporarily), ramps, or temporary interruptions of the black line. The penalties incurred during the journey and the total journey time contribute to the final score.

This competition qualifies the Portuguese teams to participate in the world RoboCup Junior Rescue.
