18Sr. RoboZone Games at Worlds
- 30 teams
- 8 groups, each group with 4 or 3 teams
- 4 semi-finals, and one final
19Unknown 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
20UP drawing Rules
- One practice paper (11x17) 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.
21Drawing 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
22How 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
23Drawing 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.
24How to quantify an angle quality
- Draw a box around the angle blip. The deduction
is the diagonal distance of the rectangle
d 42mm
25RoboZone 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
26Robot Size matters!!!
27How 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
28After 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
29Once 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 judges 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
30How 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
31Definition 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
32Remember
- Your team ID number!
- Emcees will call your team ID
- Your team ID will be recorded
- Put your name badge all the time
