Gameplay and Rules
Autonomous Period
The autonomous period is a critical component of the game, where robots operate using pre-programmed instructions, with a duration of 30 seconds, as stated in the manual.
The robots are designed to perform specific tasks during this period, such as scoring points or completing challenges, using their programming and sensors to navigate the field.
The autonomous period is a test of the team’s programming and engineering skills, as the robots must be able to operate independently and effectively, without human intervention, to achieve their goals.
The manual provides detailed guidelines and rules for the autonomous period, including the use of sensors, motors, and other components, to ensure fair play and safety.
Scoring System
The scoring system is a crucial aspect of the game, where points are awarded to teams based on their performance, using a combination of automated and manual scoring methods.
The manual outlines the scoring system in detail, including the points awarded for each achievement, such as completing challenges or scoring goals, and provides examples of how the scoring system works in practice. The teams must understand the scoring system to maximize their score and compete effectively, and the manual provides clear and concise information to help them do so, with online resources available for further clarification and support always.
