Events during Robotix are conducted under three categories: manual, autonomous, and programming/online.^{[citation needed]} In the manual events, participants handle the robot using a remote control. In the autonomous events, the robots act independently; participants are not allowed to control them during their run. In the programming events, participants are given a problem statement and submit code to solve it; competitors are also allowed to submit their solutions online.
