Unknown Problem
• Top rank UP teams will select the rest of group
teams by raffle
• UP results will be the tie breaker to select the
best team for each group
• 3 trophies for each division
• More difficult than that of qualifying
competitions
UP drawing Rules
• One practice paper (11”x17”) will be given to each
team
• Team ID label will be given by Judge to the robot
• The robot must not be touched by players during
the drawing
• If the pen of the robot goes out of the paper, the
robot must be stopped immediately.
• Record and play function (NXTG) cannot be used.
• Before the given drawing time is expired, turn in
your robot to the judging table.
Drawing Judging Guidelines - NEW
• We will not score drawings, but
• rank (groups of) drawings using 3 templates
with different tolerances
– First select drawings that passes 4cm tolerance
– Then select drawings that passes 2cm tolerance
– Then select drawings that passes 1 cm tolerance
How to rank drawings within the
same group that passes the
tolerance test?
• First criteria: Angle quality
• Second criteria : Line quality - measure the
size of the largest line gap. The smaller the
better
Drawing Judging Guidelines
• Need two or three judges dedicated to this
judging to maintain consistency
• First select best 8 teams for Sr. Division and
best 16 teams for Jr. Division
• The rest drawings will be judged and ranking
will be completed while RoboZone game is
being held.
How to quantify an angle quality
• Draw a box around the angle blip. The deduction is
the diagonal distance of the rectangle
d = 42mm
d = 21mm
RoboZone Game Rules
• A match consists of up to three games. The first
robot to win two games wins the match
• Maximum time for each game is 2 minutes
• Only one team member is allowed to enter the
competition area to start the robot.
• A judge will weigh and measure the robots before
each match
Max. length and width
Weight of the robot
Jr. Division
25 cm
1kg (2.2 lbs)
Sr. Division
25 cm
1.3kg (2.9
lbs)
Robot Size matters!!!
How to start a RoboZone Game
• For each game, starting location and
orientation for each robot will be decided by a
computer program, placement randomizer,
developed by Brian Watt
• The location of the Zone will be decided by
each judge at random, maintaining equal
distance between two robots
After a Game is Started
• Each robot must wait for 5 seconds. If a robot
moves, during this waiting time, the robot loses
the game automatically.
• During the 5 second waiting time, a judge will
place the Zone and bottle at an unknown middle
location between the two robots considering the
size (width and length) of the two robots.
• Judge will tape down the Zone on the table
• Both players and judges MUST move back out of
the way
Once the game is started/ended
• No human touch is allowed.
• Reset of the playing field is not allowed.
• Judges will have discretion in making decisions
during the game and the judge’s decision is
final.
• The max break time between games is 2 min.
• Since Robofest promotes courtesy, respect,
and friendship, teams should shake hands
after the match
How to win a game/match
• Occupy the Zone or push the opponent off the
ring!
• If both robots survive for 2 minutes without
occupying the zone successfully, it is a tie.
• If the match results in a tie, scorekeeper
records tie. (for example: one win, one lose,
and one tie)
• The drawing rank will be used to determine a
winner, if needed
Definition of the Zone occupation
• Target center point must be completely covered
with any part for 3 continuous seconds. The robot
may move as long as it occupies the Zone.
• A detached part from a robot covering the target
center point does not count.
• The counting will continue, even if two minute
game time is elapsed.

Remember
• Your team ID number!
• Emcees will call your team ID
• Your team ID will be recorded
• Put your name badge all the time
