RoboCupJunior Rescue Maze

The robot will get points for each victim found and deliver a rescue kit close to the victim. The robot must avoid areas with a black floors.
The land is too dangerous for humans to reach the victims. Your team has been given a difficult task. The robot must be able to carry out a rescue mission in a fully autonomous mode with no human assistance. The robot must be durable and intelligent enough to navigate treacherous terrain with hills, uneven land, and rubble without getting stuck. The robot must search for victims, dispense rescue kits, and signal the position of the victims so the humans can take over. Time and technical skills are essential!
Come prepared to be the most successful rescue team.
