- Gameboard layout: single start area, path for the robot to follow (width of line may differ)
- Obstacles:
- May be placed in the course at the discretion of the Challenge design team.
- Terrain changes
- Obstacles won't be impossible to 'overcome.' Trust us.
- The dimensions of the race track board is 80" by 90".
- The actual path of the race track will be at least 10" from the edge of the board.
- The path will be colored in black while the background of the board will be white. (color} h3.
Rules
- * Both robots will be placed in separate 'startup' areas on the line in forward-looking orientation
- Order of the robots determined by the relay team
- Robots must recognize the path and follow it to completion
- * The relay will be a "virtual" hand-off.
- 1st robot reaches the "exchange" area
- 2nd robot recognizes the presence of 1st and begins autonomously (no exogenous influence)
- 10 minute time limit.
h3.
Scoring
- * Each robot pair is given 1 mulligan. 10 point deduction for use of this option. *
- The scoring scheme is as follows:
- The team score will be the individual robot's score
- Each robot's scores from each of the heats will be summed
- There will be only one heat (one run per team) due to time limitations
- Point Structure
- First robot successfully reaches exhange area: 10 pts
- Successful exchange: 15 pts
- Second robot completes course: 10 pts
- Using a mulligan: -10 pts
- Rankings:
- 1st best time: 40 pts
- 2nd best time: 30 pts
- 3rd best time: 20 pts
- 4th best time: 15 pts
- 5th best time: 10 pts
