Teams: Students can prepare an engineering notebook beforehand. It may only be one page typed, (2 sided)
no smaller than 10-point font, explaining your progress and decisions in building your robot.
Event Managers: Will provide all necessary items.
The Competition: This event will have tables at which teams may build their robot. They must bring it to the
testing zone to attempt the challenge.
Challenge: Students will have 45 seconds for a robot to run autonomously from a starting point outside of the
platform to move icosahedrons onto the three platforms.
Scoring: Scores are determined at the end of the round. No points are awarded if the icosahedron rolls off.
Robot Performance Points:
- 10 Points will be award for each icosahedron on the wide platform
- 15 points will be awarded for each icosahedron on the medium platform
- 20 points will be awarded for each icosahedron on the narrow platform.
- -10 points (lost) if LEGOs not put back in order after competition
- 5 Points, a sketch of your idea
- 5 Points, two photos of other attempts
- 3 Points, clear explanation of how you improved
- 2 Points, listing of team responsibilities
- 5 Points, timeline of team progress
This year's arena will be mostly 3D printed, but the base will be laser cut. We're inlcuding STLs so an approximate copy of the arena can be printed and practiced on before the competition.
