KIPR Open Tournament
The KIPR Open Tournament encourages ongoing robotics education beyond the high school level. Mentors, parents and teachers of Botball teams are encouraged to focus their own creative energies into a solution for the KIPR Open Tournament (let the kids build their own robots!).
College students are also encouraged to form a team and compete in the KIPR Open Tournament at the Global Conference.

The KIPR Open Tournament consists of two separate rounds - seeding and double elimination. During the seeding rounds teams compete unopposed on the game board as their robots attempt to score as many points as they can. The seeding rounds are a great opportunity for teams to show what their robots can really do. Teams go head-to-head in the double elimination rounds as robots from two different teams compete on the game board simultaneously. Teams attempt to score as many points as possible, but also to keep their opponent from scoring. Teams are awarded for their performance in seeding and double elimination rounds, but judges' choice awards are also given in a variety of categories. Judges' choice awards are not necessarily related to a team's ability to score points during the tournament rounds. The KIPR Open Tournament at the Global Conference is based on the KIPR Open Autonomous Robotics Game, which is distributed by KISS Institute for Practical Robotics. |
