Purpose

  • Speed

Objective

  • To finish the obstacle course in the shortest possible time as a team

Gameboard and Setup

  • 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
      • 6th best time: 5 pts

Team Combinations

  • Number of combinations and relays depends on competition time remaining (maximum number of runs is 6)
  • Team combinations will be chosen randomly by the committee prior to the competition.
  • Team Assignments and order of heats:
    • Team 5 & Team 7
    • Team 2 & Team 8
    • Team 10 & Team 3
    • Team 6 & Team 1
    • Team 4 & Team 9
