This paper presents the robot constructing contest called RobonAUT, where teams of three have to design and compete against each other using their robot. During the course of the contest students can learn how to do the mechanics, electronics and programming of an autonomous mobile robot. The event takes place on two fields. The first is a field where robots have to complete certain stager in less than five minutes to score. On the second field speed is essential and the units have to speed up to score. They have to detect different obstacles with sensor systems that teams connected to a certain type of robot kit. In 2013 the field got more difficult obstacles, like the finish, which was a horizontal surface, but now it is a slope where robots have to stop. Obstacle avoidance is the other obstacle where one side of the object is corded and the other is smooth, the robot have to detect the pattern on the wall.
