Abstract
Cybertech is a robotic competition organized yearly by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in which undergraduate students design and build mobile robots that can compete in different events. Students from UPM can follow a related course in which they learn how to build a robot. Marks obtained in the course depend partially on the results obtained in the competition. The characteristic event of the competition is the bullfighting in which each team must build a bullfighter robot that shows its skills against a bull robot provided by the organization.
