LARC Standard Educational Kits

The Mexican Robotics® Tournament (TMR) is associated with several international competitions, among which is the Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC) of the IEEE. Annually, the TMR supports the winning team of the LARC Standard Educational Kits (SEK) to represent Mexico in the Latin American Robotics Competition.
Within the LARC, a new challenge based on real problems is proposed every two years and must be solved exclusively with official parts of a single standard kit for robot development. Among the kits allowed for this competition are: LEGO, Vex, pETe and FischerTechnik, etc. For more details, consult the official rules of this competition.
Review
In a rugged terrain in the city of Big River there is a pipeline submerged in a toxic water channel. However, parts of the pipe have been damaged due to a strong earthquake. Because the lands and waters of Big River are difficult to access, this scenario has become perfect for testing new autonomous robots capable of solving this problem. As many robots were introduced, the pipe company organized a competition to see which robots would be most suitable for this purpose.
Restrictions
To participate in LARC SEK, you can register teams of up to 4 people. Team members must be undergraduate students or any previous level of studies.
For the TMR 2020, the presentation of the Team Description Paper (TDP) with the IEEE format is required (download link) and an extension of 4 to 6 pages.
Teachers who accompany the team and who wish to have a diploma that recognizes their participation in the event will be able to register as mentors. The registration cost of the mentors is the same as that of the contestants. Because LARC SEK is a competition for students, mentors are not assigned a spot on the team's work table and are not allowed to help their students during the competition.
Rules
The rules are available in the following link Regras_IEEE_SEK2019_Ingles.

Introduction
In a rough terrain land in the city of Big River there is a gas pipeline submerged in a toxic water channel. However, parts of the pipeline have been damaged due to a strong earthquake. Because of Big River's lands and waters are difficult to access, this scenario has become perfect for testing new autonomous robots capable of solving this problem.
As many robots were introduced, the pipeline company ran a competition to see which robots would be best suited for this purpose.
