Participant bots are not allowed to have any sharp objects or damaging substances that could potentially harm the opponent's bot.
Specifically, the kicking part of the bot should not have any sharp or pointed edges to prevent injury or damage during gameplay.

The operators designated to take penalty kicks must be different for each attempt, and the same operator cannot take consecutive penalty kicks unless all operators have been utilized.
Penalty kicks will be taken from a designated spot on the field and within a specified time frame.
The team with the most goals after five penalty kicks each will be declared the winner.
