True Walking Movement

True walkers are robots that move using one or more articulated legs that touch the arena floor and allow movement with multiple degrees of freedom. The movement must not be based solely on the continuous rotation of motors, and must comply with the non-traditional movement rules. We recommend having the design pre-approved by CCRL to qualify for the bonus.

True walkers are robots with one or more legs that allow them to move around the arena. Legs are defined as articulated structural elements that touch the arena floor and can move with two or more degrees of freedom. To qualify as a true walker, the robot's movement must not be possible solely through the continuous rotation of one or more motors. True walkers must also meet all the requirements for non-traditional movement.

Competitors wishing to use the true walker bonus are advised to have their design approved by CCRL staff before registering their robot for the competition, as CCRL reserves the right to approve or deny the true walker bonus to any robot at its own discretion.
