• Game is turn based. When it’s your turn you will have a minute to remove a block and return to your team’s region.
• Your robot can enter the playing area (the white region) only when it’s your turn. When it’s not your turn, the robot should be in your team’s region.
• When it is your turn, your robot can access the white region and your team’s region.
• Your robot has to remove one block from the stack. You can touch and move blocks before selecting which one you want to remove. All the other blocks except the one you want to remove must be put back in place.
• The block must land inside the playing area. After you have knocked out a block, your robot must transport it to your team’s region.
• Basic Jenga rules apply.
• When it’s not your turn, your robot is still free to operate inside your team’s region. You can start deciding on which block you want to remove when it’s your turn.

Scoring

• 1 pt for block knocked or pulled out during your turn.
• -0.5 pt if the block lands outside the playing area and you lose your chance to score points by taking the block to your team’s region.
• 1 pt for successfully taking the block you knocked out back to your team’s region.
• +15 if your opponent’s robot knocks over the tower.
