Unknown Problem • Top rank UP teams will select the rest of group teams by raffle • UP results will be the tie breaker to select the best team for each group • 3 trophies for each division • More difficult than that of qualifying competitions
UP drawing Rules • One practice paper (11”x17”) will be given to each team • Team ID label will be given by Judge to the robot • The robot must not be touched by players during the drawing • If the pen of the robot goes out of the paper, the robot must be stopped immediately. • Record and play function (NXTG) cannot be used. • Before the given drawing time is expired, turn in your robot to the judging table.
Drawing Judging Guidelines - NEW • We will not score drawings, but • rank (groups of) drawings using 3 templates with different tolerances • First select drawings that passes 4cm tolerance • Then select drawings that passes 2cm tolerance • Then select drawings that passes 1 cm tolerance
How to rank drawings within the same group that passes the tolerance test? • First criteria: Angle quality • Second criteria : Line quality - measure the size of the largest line gap. The smaller the better
Drawing Judging Guidelines • Need two or three judges dedicated to this judging to maintain consistency • First select best 8 teams for Sr. Division and best 16 teams for Jr. Division • The rest drawings will be judged and ranking will be completed while RoboZone game is being held.
How to quantify an angle quality • Draw a box around the angle blip. The deduction is the diagonal distance of the rectangle d = 42mm d = 21mm
RoboZone Game Rules • A match consists of up to three games. The first robot to win two games wins the match • Maximum time for each game is 2 minutes • Only one team member is allowed to enter the competition area to start the robot. • A judge will weigh and measure the robots before each match
How to start a RoboZone Game • For each game, starting location and orientation for each robot will be decided by a computer program, placement randomizer, developed by Brian Watt • The location of the Zone will be decided by each judge at random, maintaining equal distance between two robots
After a Game is Started • Each robot must wait for 5 seconds. If a robot moves, during this waiting time, the robot loses the game automatically. • During the 5 second waiting time, a judge will place the Zone and bottle at an unknown middle location between the two robots considering the size (width and length) of the two robots. • Judge will tape down the Zone on the table • Both players and judges MUST move back out of the way
Once the game is started/ended • No human touch is allowed. • Reset of the playing field is not allowed. • Judges will have discretion in making decisions during the game and the judge’s decision is final. • The max break time between games is 2 min. • Since Robofest promotes courtesy, respect, and friendship, teams should shake hands after the match
How to win a game/match • Occupy the Zone or push the opponent off the ring! • If both robots survive for 2 minutes without occupying the zone successfully, it is a tie. • If the match results in a tie, scorekeeper records tie. (for example: one win, one lose, and one tie) • The drawing rank will be used to determine a winner, if needed
Definition of the Zone occupation • Target center point must be completely covered with any part for 3 continuous seconds. The robot may move as long as it occupies the Zone. • A detached part from a robot covering the target center point does not count. • The counting will continue, even if two minute game time is elapsed. Target center point of the Zone
Remember • Your team ID number! • Emcees will call your team ID • Your team ID will be recorded • Put your name badge all the time
