We would like to invite you to the International Open Scientific and Technical Festival of Robotics “Kalashnikov-Technofest” will be held from 24 January to 2 February 2025 in Izhevsk, Russian Federation on several places: Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University, Private Educational Institute of Additional Education “Kalashnikov Academy” and Udmurt State University.

The following events are planned to be held within the framework of the festival:

POLYTECHNIC OLYMPIAD

Participants: The team consists of three persons, pupils of grades 7-11 of secondary schools, first-year students of secondary vocational education.
Participants will be offered tasks that require knowledge of electronics, design and programming. Participants will need the ability to handle measuring instruments and devices (rulers, calipers, multimeter, oscilloscope), skills in working with a 3D printer and software: Compass 3D, Autodesk Fusion, Arduino IDE, Visual Studio. The main directions of the Olympiad are:

  • 3D modelling, design and 3D printing;
  • Electronics, electrical engineering, soldering of radio elements;
  • Programming and development of algorithms.

COMPETITIONS

It is planned to hold competitions of wheeled robots and unmanned aerial vehicles assembled both on the basis of well-known robotic kits and having original designs on this site.

MOBILE ROBOTICS

  • (LL) LEGO League: Fights of remotely and autonomously controlled mobile robots assembled from LEGO constructors. Robot dimensions should be no more than 250x250x250mm, weight should be no more than 1 kg.
    Participants: : Pupils of grades 5-9 of secondary schools, institutions of additional education.
  • (L2) League 2: Fights of autonomously controlled mobile robots assembled from original parts of their own making or constructors (except LEGO or its analogues). Robot dimensions should be no more than 300x300x300mm, weight should be no more than 2 kg.
    Participants: Pupils of 7-11 grades of secondary schools, institutions of additional, secondary vocational education and higher vocational education, enterprises teams.
  • (RFL) Robot Fighting League: Fights remotely controlled mobile robots assembled from original parts for destruction. Robot dimensions should be no more than 250x250x250mm, weight should be no more than 1.5 kg.
    Participants: Pupils of 7-11 grades of secondary schools, institutions of additional, secondary vocational education and higher vocational education, enterprises teams.

UAV
Participants: Pupils of 7-11 grades of secondary schools, institutions of additional, secondary vocational education and higher vocational education, enterprises teams.

  • (DM) Drone Racing Mini: Piloting UAV on a track with obstacles. The distance between diagonally located motors is no more than 180 mm. Control of the drone is remote.
  • (D) Drone Racing: Piloting of UAV on an obstacle course. Distance between diagonally located motors from 180 to 400 mm. Control of the drone is remote.
  • (FF) Figure flight: Programming of the movement of multi-rotor unmanned aerial systems of helicopter type for passing complex trajectories. The criteria for evaluating results are trajectory time and accuracy. Distance between diagonally located motors is up to 400 mm.
