Competition Objectives
- Be creative! There are many ways to solve this task!
- You can add pretty much anything to your robot
- other types of sensors (see what we have in the lab, or look on line and maybe I'll purchase for you)

Other Deliverables & Grading
- At the time of your trial, your team must have a NICE wiki page you can display on the projector to show the audience basic information about your project (for example, team name, info about your robot, what major actions/strategy the robot should take to win the competition)
- After the competition, your team should add a summary of results and conclusions to the wiki page (i.e., finish your wiki-based team "lab report")
- Your grade for the project will be based on...
- How well your robot performs (per the tasks your teqam planned to do)
- Your Wiki page (including results/summary)
Design Requirements & Constraints
- A user-friendly, intuitive interface using appropriate buttons, LEDs, sounds, and cricket display
- At end of 2 minute trial, your robot should revert to it's initial mode
- Offensive & defensive strategies encourages, but no bullying on the playing field!
- Must use at least one of each type of sensor and at least one servo motor
- You can start your robot anywhere on the playing field, but your ball "capturing device" must be at least 30 cm away from the nearest ball.
*Please do not "attack" other robots--friendly competition! However, you can steal their balls!!
Team List
When you create your team page, make sure you use the "Student" Group, not in the "Robots" (e.g., make your link to your new page look like this: [[Student.OurTeamPageName]]). Your team name must follow the wiki page naming convention--it must be unique!!
