The robot moves your Innovation Project onto the RePLAY logo or the gray area around the bench (M04).
“Doing the same with less” can save time and space.
Note:
When you get to each match, remove all your equipment from any containers and show the referee you can fit it all in the small inspection space. See Rule 09 for details.
The less often you interrupt the robot outside home, the more points you keep.
If the number of precision tokens left on the field is:
Note:
See rules R05, R15, R16, and R19.
The robot collects health units from around the field and moves them to target areas.
If health units are:
Before the match, you hand select the machine’s lever setting. During the match, the robot moves the lever until the little yellow stopper falls.
If the stopper is under the lever and lever setting is
Note:
The lever setting is the color under the east face of the east green bar.
Before the match starts, you slide the lever where you want, with the stopper on top.
This is an exception to rule R12.
R12 defines where the robot goes between missions and tells what other handling is or is not allowed.
The (imaginary) space labeled “Home” in R13 . It has no ceiling and does not include the white sponsor logo band.
Home is your space for handling and storing allowable things whenever you like.
It is also the place for handling and preparing the robot before and between launches.
After any launch, the robot needs to return completely into home if you want to handle it without losing a precision token.
The robot can leave home only from the launch area, but it can return home anywhere.
Do not interact with things outside home except by rules R15 and R19 . Anything the robot affects or moves completely outside home stays as is unless the robot changes it (see rule R19 ).
Exception 1: If something comes out of home by accident, grab it quickly so it does not upset the field.
Exception 2: If equipment breaks off the robot unintentionally, you can pick it up as needed.
You cannot strategically send or extend anything even partly out of home except by launching the robot.
The robot moves the free wheel out of the large circle and into the small target circle.
If the free wheel is:
The robot spins the rollers to move the pointer as far clockwise as possible.
If the robot spins the rollers so the pointer points to
Note:
If a position is not clear, imagine a needle at the end of the pointer. The edge of a color counts as that color.
If the robot moves the pointer by touching the pointer, M11 scores zero.
The robot flips the cell phone white side up.
The robot flips tires so their white centers face up and moves them into their large target circle.
Note:
If the heavy tire crosses the red flip line at any time, even partly, it scores zero.
The flip line runs all the way north to south. Only part of it is shown.
Boccia is an interactive mission with the opposing team. Talk with the other team so the robots send matching colored cubes onto the opposite field.
Note:
If there is equipment even partly in your frame, M08 Boccia scores zero for you (the opposing team is not affected).
If, like most teams, you have only your one practice table, your sent cube will simply go over your north wall during practice.
(Study the scoring examples as if both share models did share only one cube.)
The robot is dancing on the dance floor at the end of the match.
Note:
Any silly or skilled repetitive action counts as dancing – do something fun! For M07, you cannot score this plus the “held up” score from M06 Pull-Up Bar in the same match.
The robot passes completely under the bar any time. Separately, it is held off the mat by the bar at the end of the match.
Note:
For the “held up” score, you cannot score this and M07 Robot Dance in the same match.
A “pass through” can score northward or southward, but only one way and only one time. A “pass through” scores at the time it happens. This is a rule R22 exception.
R22 cautions you that if the robot’s accomplishments are wrecked before the match ends, they will not score.
Mission requirements must be visible at the end of the match to count unless a method is required.
• Precisely as the match ends, everything needs to freeze in place for examination.
• Stop the robot, leave it as is, and then keep hands off everything as the referee scores the field with you.
The robot raises the crate up the post and gets a cube into it.
Note:
Only one cube can score in the crate.
Score top height or middle height, not both.
The robot removes the backrest, flattens the bench, and gets cubes into the hopscotch spaces.
The robot slides the people (called “slide figures”) down the slide and moves them to other areas.
Note:
Off the slide” scores if the slide figure’s black frame is past/ below the tip of the slide’s gray slide part.
Notice the score for two slide figures off is 20, not 25.
The robot slides the step counter slow and steady. The farther the “walk,” the better.
Note: R25 BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
R25 tells the referee how to rule in confusing or hard-to-tell situations.
If the referee’s decision “could go either way,” or if the referee’s preparation, attention, vision, or memory cause an issue, you get the benefit of the doubt.
You will attach the attachment to the bottom 4 holes in the center of the robot as shown.
We removed the plate and highlited the color of the pins so they stand out.
You can find the attachment here.
You will need to attach the attachment on the 7th hole from the top on the right part of the robot as shown:
You can find the attachment here.
You will need to attach the Angled beam on the 5th hole from the top on the left of the robot, as shown:
You can find the attachment here.
This video is part of a series where we show you how our Box Robot accomplished the M10 Steel Construction mission 10 out of 10 times. The attachment is a basic lever and all the 'heavy lifting' is done by the x-y movement of the Dominator robot. This mission is one of the hard missions, because the construction is big and heavy and this requires precise movement of the robot.
This video is part of a series where we show you how our Box Robot accomplished the M08 Elevator mission with 100% accuracy. The idea is that the robot pushes with enought force in the right spot, which makes the elevator turn over. The interesting thing is that the Dominator robot moves the lever after it pushes the elevator. This makes the move back possible, because the lever is now not in the way of the mission model.
