• Each Technical Committee (TC) is composed of 5-9 members including the Exec members for the league and a further 3–5 members elected by the teams. There is one technical committee per league – giving currently a total of 85 members in all TCs. About 25 TC members are responsible for the rules of the RoboCupJunior contests.
