This paper discusses goal setting in a project-based learning class where the teams of students design and fabricate autonomous robots for a robot competition based on their creativity. The problem addressed here is to make a competition regulation such that the students develop various robots for the cultivation of the creativity, i.e., an important ability for engineers. By classifying robots from the viewpoints of their desired behavior and mechanical structure, we present a regulation solving the problem. Moreover, by evaluating the robots developed in the class and a questionnaire, we show that the variety of the developed robots is higher than that for a previous regulation and our regulation is useful for the cultivation of the creativity.
