19
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

20
UP 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.

21
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

22
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

23
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.

24
How to quantify an angle quality

• Draw a box around the angle blip. The deduction
  is the diagonal distance of the rectangle

d 42mm
25
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

26
Robot Size matters!!!
27
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

28
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

29
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 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

30
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

31
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
32
Remember

• Your team ID number!
• Emcees will call your team ID
• Your team ID will be recorded
• Put your name badge all the time
