Objective

To design and build two autonomous robots (A and B) that can complete a total of four laps of a relay race. At the start, Robot A must begin behind the start line with a golf ball onboard that represents a mailbag. After completing the first lap, Robot A must pass the golf ball to Robot B in the space between the start and finish lines. This sequence continues until Robot B crosses the finish line on the 4th lap. Teams will have a maximum time of 120 seconds to complete the four laps.

Scoring

Robots will earn points as described below.

1. 15 Points will be awarded for each lap that is completed while in compliance with all the rules.

   1. A time bonus will be added to robots that complete a perfect run. A perfect run is defined as one in which four laps are completed while in compliance with all the rules.

Time Bonus = ( 120 – Time for a Perfect Run in Seconds)

Exhibit Session

Prior to the testing of the vehicles, each team must participate in an exhibit session where they will create a booth to promote their project to judges, other students, and conference attendees. Each team will be supplied with a 6’ long table, room for tripod displays behind the table, and electrical power. The entire session is scheduled to last approximately 3 hours during the grand opening of the Exhibition Hall on Monday, June 11th.
