Abstract
Current robot competition provides both students and researchers a platform to experiment with related technology and skills to solve challenging problems. However, the entry point for participation requires very demanding prerequisites of the participants. Even though robot competition is gaining popularity as a form of digital entertainment, it still remains a very specialised domain catering to academia. This paper presents on-going work in specifying, designing and developing a multiple format search and rescue robot to provide continuity for primary age participants to postgraduate researchers.
