To participate in the CYBATHLON, the following eligibility criteria must be met. However, it is not a requirement that a pilot has already been selected or that a finished prototype of the device is available at the time of registration.Team
A team consists of a technology provider (at least one person from a research laboratory, student project or company, or a private developer) and a pilot (person with a disability). The pilot can be the technology provider at the same time. Each team is managed by a team manager. To compete in several disciplines, the same institution can register more than one team.
Pilot
Pilots must must be at least 18 years, have sufficient cognitive and communicative abilities to understand the Races and Rules, meet the discipline-specific pilot eligibility criteria, and pass all steps of the MedCheck (click here to learn more about the MedCheck).
A team can register 2 pilots, a main pilot and a backup pilot who takes the role of the pilot if the (primary) pilot drops out or withdraws from participation.
Assistive Technology
It is allowed to use a commercial device, a modified version of a commercial device, prototypes or research devices. Assistive devices or components thereof that are implanted in the pilot’s body (e.g. electrodes, sensors, osseointegration) are eligible to participate. In any case, the assistive device must be safe for the pilot and their environment at any time, and pass all steps of the TecCheck (click here to learn more about the TecCheck).
