Construction Construction Robot may be controlled remotely:
◦Radio◦Infrared◦Wired control boxes◦See soinc.org for legal devices and
frequenciesCommercial robot – at least one
functional modification◦Lack of modification means Robot
doesn’t work or will work differently

Construction -SizeConstruction -SizeRobot, in ready to run position
◦Fit, entirely, (without compression) in a 30cm x 30cm x 30cm cube Entirely means that no portion of the robot,
including the antenna, has its position changed by the box If no box is used, no portion would ‘stick out of’ that
box
◦Robot may change dimensions during the run May get larger
◦May not separate into two or more active components May drop passive parts

elastic, or gravitational energy◦These forms must not be converted to
other forms such as hydraulics or pneumatics

used to energize each of the Robot’s and its controller’s electrical circuits◦Not exceeding 14.4 v as labeled◦May be connected in series or
parallel But must not exceed 14.4 v
Must be contained in either the Robot or as part of the controllers

push it into Zone B, towards middle of the Zone.
Back out to Zone A/B boundary and begin to pick up ping-pong ball, AA cells, and Lego blocks and drop into Bonus Box
Pick up tennis ball and drop it into Bonus Box
Move further into Zone B to pick up remaining Lego blocks, AA cells, and ping-pong balls and drop into Bonus Box
Maneuver Bonus Box into Zone D
Drive Robot into Zone D
Turn off Robot and shout “Stop”

but the Box must remain inside the playing field in any zone
If any item moved by control wires, it is out of play – no points for it
Miscellaneous parts may end up in or on the Bonus Box without penalty

if any of the following occurs◦3 minutes have elapsed from the word
“Go”◦The team says “Stop”◦Any part of the Robot or Bonus Box is ‘Out
of Bounds’ Out of Bounds is defined as touching the floor
outside of the Playing Field
◦The Robot is physically moved by the wires connecting it to the control box
◦A team member steps on the Playing Field after the team has received a warning

2x score multiplier to any items completely under the Bonus Box
3x score multiplier to any items in or fully supported by the Bonus Box if the opening is pointing up
Any item which touches the floor outside of the Playing Field at any time, even if under control by Robot, is out of play and has no point value

ScoringScoringIf any part of the Bonus Box is Out
of Bounds, the items within will have no score value
Score will be reduced one point for each incorrect answer in 5.a (book may say 5.b)

violate the frequency rules or are unable to compete
◦No show points only: Devices that have no capability by design to score points by moving objects

probably will not run when you try this powerpoint at home.
All you need to do is go to YouTube and type Science Olympiad Robo-Cross in the search box. I found about 15 videos.
