Robo-Pharaohs Build Pyramids is the main theme of this contest. The idea is based on a virtual time machine that takes ancient Egyptian Great-Pyramids builders inside classrooms of technical schools. The new target is to build parts of the three Pyramids in sequence. Competing team members should be accurate, fast and cooperative. They should adhere to the main requirement of not using binding material between blocks. The winner team is the "Robo-Pharaoh" which succeeds to finish building assigned parts of the three Pyramids first. During three minutes, red and blue teams compete in order to mimic one of the surviving Seven World Wonders.
The Pyramids of Giza and other monuments on the Giza Plateau are among the great world treasures. In fact, the Pyramids are the icons of world heritage in general and are widely pictured as such. The site covers an area of 2 x 2 km. It includes the three Pyramids of Khufu, Khafraa and Mankaura private tombs and the Sphinx. The Pyramid complexes belong to three rulers of the 4th Dynasty. Khufu Pyramid was completed around 2560 B.C.E. Occasionally, the Great Pyramid is referred to as “Khufu”, as a common trend is to refer to a Pyramid by its honored king, and not by who built it. Presently, there exist a little over 70 surviving large Pyramids, but the largest and perhaps the most recognizable of all is the Great Pyramid at Giza, which also represents the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.
