Right now around the world, innocent children, men and women are killed and maimed by the vicious remains of wars, mines. As you are reading this, children are going orphan, women are widowed and men are mutilated by the horrible weapon. We founded this international robotic competition in hope of helping the world to get rid of one of its most dreadful nightmares."
