A pattern language for participants in the Embedded Technology (ET) robot contest is extracted. Because the ET robot contest is a software design competition that provides young engineers or students with an opportunity to learn embedded software engineering, most participants are beginners and have difficulty designing the robot. To help participants, we have published an extracted a pattern language on a website. This pattern language, named the ET Robocon Strategy, consists of 40 patterns extracted from our technical knowledge and contest experience. In this paper, five patterns that an engineer can apply to develop a robot with wheels are introduced.
