Event 2 "Archery"

Purpose 

•  Accuracy
  

Objective

• To fire an object towards a stationary target from within a 'launch zone'
  

Gameboard and Setup

• There will be two important zones on the board
  • The launch area - a bot is not allowed to leave the launch area
  • The short zone - targets will be placed a short distance from the launch area
  • The medium zone - targets will be placed a medium distance from the launch area
  • The long zone - targets will be placed far away from the launch area 
• The launch object will be provided by the Challenge Design team
  

Rules

• Each team will have a total of five shots 
• The object must hit the target before anything else in order to obtain points
• The robot will be placed in the launch zone
• The team will decide the zone they will like to target - short, medium, or long
• The target will be randomly placed within the specified launch zone
• The robot will autonomously start with the sound of the horn
• The robot must find the target, and fire autonomously (-2 point deduction if not autonomous)
• A time limit of 45 seconds from start to when the ball is fired will be enforced
• The bot gets to fire one shot at that target
• After the shot, the team can select the same region, or change to a different region for their next shot
• Points are awarded based on the zone selected and the flexibility of the robot to hit targets in multiple zones

Scoring

• The scoring scheme is as follows:
  • Hitting a target in the:
    • Short zone - 10 points
    • Medium zone - 15 points
    • Long zone - 20 points
  • Hitting one target in each of the zones - plus 30 additional points to the target scores (75 total points)
  • Hitting one target in two different zones - plus 15 additional points
• Penalties
  • Activity that is not autonomous - 5 point penalty
  • Leaving the launch zone - 5 point penalty
    • Leaving the launch zone two consectutive times before a launch is made results in a forfeit of one shot
  • Exceeding 45 seconds will result in a forfeited throw
