Description: In this year's competition each student team must design an autonomous robot/vehicle to to rounding up red and blue branded “cattle” (golf balls) and driving them into the appropriate “corrals” (goals) in less than 120 seconds. Points are scored by driving red cattle into the red corral and blue cattle into the blue corral. No points are awarded for driving cattle into the wrong colored goal. The Time Trial Score is determined by multiplying the number of balls deposited into the correct goal by 5. Bonus points will be added if all nine balls are deposited in the correct goals within the 120 second time limit. Each team will be allowed to make four trials. In order to emphasize reliability, the total score will consist of the sum of the four time trial scores, along with the scores for a team presentation before a panel of judges and a written report. See the 2009 Official Rules for full details (link to the right). Prizes: As stated in the official rules, the top three teams will receive nice plaques. The winning teams will also receive copies of the student edition of SolidWorks. SolidWorks is a sponsor of the competition. |
