Referee System Overview
The Referee System is a fully automated electronic penalty system with features that can detect projectile
attacks, display the robot's current HP and status, and monitor chassis movement power. The Speed
Monitor Module monitors the robot's initial firing speed and launch speed; the Video Transmitter Module
provides the user with a first-person view of the robot; the RFID Interaction Module interacts with the
battlefield; and the Positioning System Module provides information on the robot's battlefield location.
A user can use multiple Referee Systems to form a multi-robot combat system.
The Referee System is composed of the following:
1. The robot side of the Referee System (hereinafter referred to as "Robot Side")
2. The PC client (hereinafter referred to as "Client") and the PC server (hereinafter referred to as "Server")
Robot Side Modules
1) Main Controller Module (MC02): The Main Controller Module is the core control unit of the
Referee System that monitors the operation of the entire system and includes human-machine
interaction, wireless communication and status display features.
Power Management Module (PM02)
2) Power Management Module (PM02): The Power Management Module functions control power to the
chassis, gimbal, and launching mechanism, transmit data, detect the chassis power consumption,
and automatically cut off power supply for propulsion when a robot's HP drops to zero.

Light Indicator
Module (LI01)
3) Light Indicator Module (LI01): The Light Indicator Module shows the current HP and status of your
robot. By observing the status of the light indicator, you can identify the remaining HP and status of
your robot.
4) Armor Modules (AM02 & AM12): The Armor Modules detect the status of incoming projectile attacks
and collisions. They are divided into the Small Armor Module and the Large Armor Module.
5) Speed Monitor Modules (SM01 & SM11): The Speed Monitor Modules detect the robot's initial firing
speed and launch speed. This includes one Speed Monitor Module for 17mm projectiles and one
for 42mm projectiles.

7) Video Transmitter Modules (VT02 & VT12): The Video Transmitter Modules provide the user with
a first-person view. This includes the VTM Transmitter and the VTM Receiver. The VTM Transmitter
is mounted on the Robot Side, while the VTM Receiver is mounted on the Client.
8) Positioning System Module (UW01): This module obtains the location of the robot on the battlefield.

Client and Server Overview
Client
The Client is a First-person View (FPV) operation application for the player. After connecting to the self-
built server or competition server, you can check the robot-related data uploaded by the Referee System
on the Client, including current HP, real-time projectile initial firing rate, firing rate, mini-map of the
battlefield, real-time chassis power output, teammate information, etc.
To implement the features mentioned above, the following hardware and software should be installed on
the Client.
1. Client hardware configuration
a. VTM Receiver (outputs a video signal)
b. Robot remote controller (user-supplied; only DT7 & DR16 remote controller receiver systems are
supported)
2. Client software configuration
a. DJI WIN driver (drives the robot remote controller)

Server
The Server is the control center of the whole Referee System. It collects data from all robots, competition
battlefield institutions, and Clients during the competition, presents them to the referees in a visualized
way, and automatically handles the identification logic to determine the outcome of the competition. The
following software should be installed on the Server to implement the features above.
