Elementary School Challenge

February 21, 2017

Rules:

Wash Station: If your robot enters a patient's room or the operating room, you MUST spin 360o in the wash station prior to entering those areas.  Failure to do so will result in contamination and a deduction of 5 points.  Teams only need to enter wash station 1 time per challenge.

Thick Lines: Robot may not drive over lines around operating room or between patient rooms.

Combined Runs: Robots may complete multiple challenges in a single run, however, teams will only be awarded points for 1 return to the physician's office. If you combine 2 challenges that require the robot to enter a wash station, then you will have to enter the wash station for each challenge.

Obstacles: When completing challenges, avoid all obstacles.  If an obstacle is struck, the robot will be returned by the judge to base. Points are only awarded to the part of the challenge completed prior to striking the obstacle.  Teams can choose to complete run again to receive remaining points.

Robot: Once the robot leaves BASE/Physician's Office, ONLY the judge may touch the robot.  Students will not be permitted to retrieve robot from the mat.
