E N D
Robot Contest Guidelines for 601A Sound Controlled Robot Team • Event 1: • Each team will be timed in navigating their robot on a horizontal surface (the floor). The goal is to get the robot to travel from a starting line to a finishing line, located at approximately 2 meters away, as quickly as possible by guiding it with sound (e.g., clapping hands). The finish line must be touched by the robot for the event to be considered finished and recorded time to stop. • Once the robot starts navigating the course, it can not be picked up or touched. A 10 second time penalty will be given to the team's final time if any member has to physically touch the robot once it has started the course. • The teams will be ranked from 1st place to 6th place based on the time taken to navigate the course. The first place team will earn 6 points, the second place team 5 points, and so on. Every team will have only 2 minutes to complete the course. If the robot doesn’t reach the finish line within 2 minutes the team gets 0 points.

The difference in points scored in the two events accounts for the difference in the difficulty of the tasks. • The teams will be ranked from 1st place to 6th place based on the time taken to navigate the course. The first place team will earn 6 points, the second place team 5 points, and so on. Every team will have only 2 minutes to complete the course. If the robot doesn’t reach the finish line within 2 minutes the team gets 0 points.
Robot Contest Guidelines for 601A Sound Controlled Robot Team • Final Team Ranking: • The earned points in each event will be added and the team with the highest total points will be ranked as first place. The rest of the places will be assigned in a similar way. • Example: Team 1, Event 1- ranked 3rd, Event 2- ranked 2nd; their overall score would be 4 + 7 = 11. • In the event of a tie, the team with the fastest time in the tied event will take the higher ranking position.

The teams will then be ranking from 1st to 6th place based on highest total score.
