2014 Robot Scenario Introduction

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 2

Goals• Understand the tasks and features of the

robot course• Answer any questions in order to facilitate

productive brainstorming

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 3

General Rules• Order of the completion of tasks does not

matter except for the CHARGER (must be last)• You may not disturb competitor’s objects• Your objects may not go into the competitors

area (dictated by the yellow lines)• All instructor rulings are final and may be made

in the spirit of the competitionRev: 20140116, MEI

Robot Scenario 4

Scoring

• Task points– Required tasks– Counts for grade

• Object points– Bonus tasks– Used for winning/seeding

Robot Scenario 7

The SHOP

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 8

The RAMP

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Only access point from the FACTORY to the SHOP

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 9

WONKA

• RF transmission• Have to mount IR beacon on DROID

• Tells your DROID:– Number of times to press the OVEN BUTTON– Sends kill signal after 2 minutes or on CHARGER

activation

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 10

The CHARGE ZONE• DROID begins on the

CHARGE ZONE

• The run begins when the red start light is illuminated

• Each DROID will start with the SCOOP

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 11

The SCOOP• Start with the SCOOP

• Must be within the 9”x9” footprint of the DROID when you start

• Cannot modify SCOOP in any way

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 12

The OVEN & OVEN BUTTON• The OVEN has the

OVEN BUTTON on the front of it

• Have to press it at least once

• WONKA tells you how many times to press it– Object points (2, 3, or 4)

Robot Scenario 13

The CANDY MAKER & SWITCH• Flip the SWITCH on

the CANDY MAKER to release the CANDY into the CHUTE

• Will always have to flip from right to left

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 14

The CHUTE• CANDY falls through the

CHUTE into the DRUM in the SHOP

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 15

The PIN• Touch the PIN

• Remove the PIN completely, which allows the CANDY to fall into the DRUM

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 16

The SKID• Convey the SKID to the

CHILLER

• Get some points for delivering it to the SHOP– Cannot break the plane of

the bottom of the RAMP

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 17

The CHILLER• More points for putting

the SKID completely within CHILLER

• No part of the SKID can break the plane of the front of the CHILLER

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 18

The COUNTER• Either COUNTER

counts for full points

• Correct COUNTER for object points

Rev: 20140116, MEI

Left

Right

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 19

The LIGHT• Tells which

COUNTER to put the SCOOP in

• Designated as if you were standing in the SHOP:– Red = Right– Blue = Left

Robot Scenario 20

The CHARGER• Press the CHARGER

to stop the run

Rev: 20140116, MEI

• Engineering 1282.01H

Robot Scenario 21

Objects Penalties• Penalties for:

– Disturbing competitor’s objects

– Own objects crossing into another DROID’s course (at the end of the run or touched by your competitor)

Robot Scenario 22

PLAY NICE!• If you damage the

course, your team will pay to fix it out of your team budget.
