This year's competetion is called TakTik. Its happening on February 19-22, 2025 @ St. Pius X Career Centre 9955 Av. Papineau, Montréal, QC H2B 1Z9.

This year’s game is a spin on the classic Tic Tac Toe.

Two teams, blue and yellow, of two schools compete against each other to achieve the highest score. The robots play on a playing field arranged in a tic tac toe board style.

They have to pick up rings, referred to as game pieces, and place them on the four types of station placed around the playing field.

The middle post is a little different. You can’t directly reach it, you’re going to have to launch the game pieces into it. Don’t worry, if you miss it you still get points depending on how far it landed.

The Game Pieces start off in dispensers, with 3 unique styles.

The robots take them from the dispensers or off the floor and put them onto the stations. Each station has a limit, so don’t exceed it.

Each game piece placed counts for a certain amount of points, but the real points come from controlling the game piece. To control a game post, you have to meet each post’s specific rules, so read them carefully.

By controlling 3 game pieces in a row, tic tac toe style, your score in that area gets multiplied.

Each game lasts 5 minutes, and you can only hold 3 game pieces at a time. Don’t forget to use the correct CRCSignal colour. Have Fun.
