Competition Format:
In each match, two race cars compete directly. The car reaching the finish line first within 2 minutes wins. If neither car finishes, the car traveling the furthest distance claims victory.
Round-robin Matches: Teams are divided into four groups (A, B, C, D), each with three teams. Rankings are determined by cumulative points from all matches.
Semifinals & Finals: The top team from each group (Winner A - Winner B, Winner C - Winner D) advances to the semifinals to compete for the championship and runner-up positions.

Special Highlights in Control:
Cars must be programmed to optimize energy and traction, including:
Powerful Hill Climbing: Cars automatically increase traction when encountering slopes.
Accelerated Breakthrough: Maximum speed on straight paths.
Energy Efficiency: Operate efficiently and complete the race with remarkable
performance.

Challenging Gameplay Rules:
Cars must use solar power exclusively (no capacitors or backup batteries allowed).
If a car breaks down or veers off the track, it must be reset at the last position before the incident.
During the competition, each team may touch their car a maximum of three times. Exceeding this limit results in disqualification.
All final decisions rest with the judging panel.
