Urtuu - Sharing the Knowledge. There will be two participating robots which are labelled

the MR1 (Manual robot) and the MR2 (Autonomous). Both of these robots will compete
with other participating teams in real time. The task of the manual robot is to pass the Gerege

proceed to cross over the bridge, while the manual robot will begin throwing the Shagai [3].
