onStage (former dance)

Current onStage rules

In the OnStage (formerly Dance) competition, the creativity of the participants is particularly in demand. This applies to the ingenuity of the choreography, the design of costumes and robots and the movements of the robots.

OnStage’s motto is: Show your creative side!

For the most part, the applicants have a free hand in the performance. This means that they can choose their own theme, robot design, music (optional) and choreography. The only restriction is the duration of the performance. It must be at least 1:30 minutes
In addition to the robot, a maximum of 2 team members can also take part in the performance themselves. The competition takes place on a stage (large flat surface) and is judged by a jury according to three criteria.
In addition to the technical aspects (construction and programming of the robots, use of sensors, interaction of the robots with other robots, humans or stage elements, reliability), attention will also be paid to the overall impression of the performance, the synchronicity and the creative storytelling.
