Robot
A GPS-based challenge with a virtual character (a “robot”) that moves around the map in real time. You either chase it or run from it.

How it works
Section titled “How it works”The robot appears as an animated character on the map. There are two modes:
Hunt mode
Section titled “Hunt mode”A robot is chasing you. It picks a team to pursue and moves toward them at a speed set by the organizer. When it gets within range (~20 meters), you receive a message and points are added or subtracted.
Escape mode
Section titled “Escape mode”A robot is running away from teams. Your goal is to get close enough to catch it. When you get within range, you receive points.
Robot types
Section titled “Robot types”The organizer can choose from several character styles:
- Hunt — Red ghost that chases teams
- Escape — Blue ghost that flees from teams
- Zombie — Zombie character that hunts teams
- Police — Policeman that chases teams
- Thief — Thief that runs from teams
These are visual differences — the mechanics are the same (hunt or escape behavior).
Scoring
Section titled “Scoring”Auto-scored. Points are awarded (or deducted) when the robot gets within range of your team’s position.
