Setting up a Rescue Line or Rescue Maze field does not need to be difficult or expensive. Around the world, RoboCupJunior communities have developed both ready-to-buy solutions and open-source DIY resources to help teams, schools, and organisers build high-quality practice and competition fields.
Whether you want something delivered and ready to go, or prefer to build your own from scratch, there is an option to suit every budget, skill level, and workspace.
Competition Ready Fields
For schools, clubs, or event organisers who want a reliable and consistent solution, pre-built Rescue fields are available for purchase for Rescue Line and Rescue Maze, including European entry divisions.
RossLight Robotics provides professionally manufactured Rescue Line and Rescue Maze fields that closely follow RoboCupJunior specifications. All designs also come with CAD Files as open source PDFs for own manufacturing.
DIY and Open-Source Rescue Field Options
If you prefer a hands-on approach, RoboCupJunior communities have shared a wide range of free and open-source resources that allow teams to build their own Rescue fields.
Printable Field Tiles from RoboCupJunior Australia
Printable files are available through RoboCupJunior Australia, giving you access to high-quality course tile layouts that match competition standards. These printables make creating practice tiles simple whether you are working with cardboard, vinyl, or foam board.
Open-Source Maze Design
For a complete Rescue maze layout, RoboCupJunior Australia has shared an open-source full field cutting layout. This PDF gives you precise measurements and cutting guides so you can build a durable practice maze from plywood or MDF.
There is also a flat pack tile version that lets you create a modular maze that can be easily assembled, disassembled, and stored between sessions.
International Construction Guides
The global RoboCupJunior community also contributes detailed build guides. One excellent example comes from Brazil (PE), where organisers have documented the full construction process for Rescue fields, including materials, assembly steps, and photos.

Build, Share, Improve
One of the strengths of RoboCupJunior Rescue is its open and collaborative spirit. Whether you buy a ready-made field or build your own from open resources, you are encouraged to adapt designs, share improvements, and help grow the global Rescue community.
If your team builds a field, consider sharing photos, tips, or modifications so others can learn from your experience. Together, we make Rescue more accessible for everyone.
