Today, technical challenges have been performed in kid-size and teen-size leagues. Those challenges are no “real” games, but special tasks, that are of technical interest like, for example, a throw-in or double pass procedure.

There are three particular tasks representing the kid-size technical challenges: Throw-in, dribbling around obstacles, and double pass.

• To accomplish the throw-in task, a robot is to pickup and hold the ball using at least one arm, then throw it on the field. In order to do this, the robot has to move to the ball, which lies near the touch lines, from the center position.
• Dribbling around obstacles requires the robot to start from the center of the field, dribble around several black obstacles, then score a goal.
• The double pass challenge requires two robots to move from one field half to the other, double passing the ball in between several times taking obstacles into account. Finally, they have to score a goal.

In Teen-Size, the technical challenge also consists of three assignments:

• Throw-In (as above),
• Obstacle dribbling (as above) and
• a footrace. To perform a footrace, a robot has to run from a touch line to anouther, turn around by 180 degrees, and run back.
