Stratagem

Intro to Robotics Semester 2 Game Manual

Overview:

The game will be played on a normal field with 4 mobile goals and 4 rollers. Teams will fight for mobile goals and rollers. There will be a 15 second autonomous period, followed by a 1 minute 45 second driver control period. Two robots will be paired together in an “alliance” and will be placed to a color (blue or red). They will be put against two teams allied together on the opposing side. The object of the game is to score more points than the opposing alliance.

Field Definitions:

There will be 4 mobile goals that will be placed. There will also be 4 rollers positioned on the wall. Finally, there are two scoring zones designated on the field.

Ways to score:

Mobile Goals: Robots move or pick up mobile goals for scoring in scoring zones. Teams get 2 points for each mobile goal scored in their scoring zone. If a team scores an opposite team's color mobile goal into their zone (ie: Red scores a Blue mobile goal in the Red Zone), that team gets double the points.
Rollers: Robots can score rollers by turning the roller to their team's color. The color scored is facing upwards. The team is awarded 2 points per roller.

Rules:

Robot specifications:
- A robot must be within 18x18x18 dimensioning with no sharp edges or subsystems designed to hurt another robot. Failure to follow these specifications before a match will result in disqualification.
- If any field piece is used in a weapon-like manner, that team will be disqualified.
- Robots cannot be acting within an aggressive way towards another bot. Direct contact for 5 seconds will result in the attacking team’s disqualification.
- During the last 30 seconds of the driver control period, an alliance may not interact or touch the opposing alliance's scoring zone.

Skills:

Overview:

Skills will consist of a 1 minute programming period, followed by a 1 minute driver period. During these periods you will be completely alone on the field. The objective is to score as many points as possible while being the only robot on the field. Each team will have three full autonomous tests in order to receive the highest score possible.

Autonomous:

During the autonomous; all previous autonomous rules will apply.

Driver Control:

During the driver control period, all previous driver control rules apply.
