LOGISTICS RULES

Middle School • 4 Minute Matches

High School• 5 Minute Matches

• Robots will complete each match in both autonomous and teleoperation mode.

• Robots will have unlimited amount of resets during autonomous mode.

• After 1 minute mark they will be given the option to either continue autonomously or change to teleoperation.

• At least two wheels must be on the field at all times.

GAME RULES – AUTONOMOUS

Middle School • Robots must be programed to

follow the red outline traced onto the field.

• The robot must collect the first two medicine capsules in numerical order.

• Must have an attached carry-on “structure” to place the capsules during autonomous mode.

• Human Players will help the DNA robot collect the medicine capsules at each station by will placing the medicine capsule inside the carry-on “structure” once the robot arrives to the location.

High School• The robot must collect one

medicine capsule located on the field.

• The robot must have an attached carry-on “structure” to place the capsule during autonomous mode.

• After the capsule is collected, the robot must then travel to the Construction Zone to deliver the medicine capsule.

GAME RULES – AUTONOMOUS Middle School

• Once the first two capsules are collected, they must be delivered to the Construction Zone. Human Player will help place the capsules inside to zone.

High School• A Human Player will

help remove themedicine capsule once the robot has arrived at the Construction Zone.

Teams will have 60 seconds to complete the autonomous task.

If completed in teleoperation mode, point for the autonomous task will be worth 50%.

LAYOUT OF THE FIELD – MIDDLE SCHOOL

LAYOUT OF THE FIELD – HIGH SCHOOL

GAME RULES – TELEOPERATION

Middle School • The robot must then successfully administer the

cancer treatment inside of the human body by putting together the medicine capsules in form of several layers.

• There will be a total of 11 medicine capsules available at the center of the field.

• These capsules will also be available for the opposing team and are first come, first served.

• In addition, there will be 1 medicine capsule which will be a different size. The team that collects the medicine capsule and successfully transports it into the Construction Zone, will have their match’s total score increase by 20%.

• Teams are allowed to use these additional items. The additional materials that will be allowed are the following:

• String• Cardboard• Rubber Bands• Tape• Zip Ties• Balsawood• Adhesives (not adhered directly to robot)

High School

APPLICATION VIDEO PRESENTATION:

The video must answer the following questions and tasks:• Everyday, thousands of individuals are diagnosed with rare forms of

Leukemia, which is a type of blood cancer. There are different forms of Leukemia an individual can be diagnosed with. Please choose one type and provide information about the disease.

• The DNA Nanobot is designed to fight cancerous cells and preserve healthy ones. How will you ensure that your Nanobot safely carries out this task?

• In your video, please include a demonstration of your Nano Bot. Due to time constraints, demonstration can be speeded up with video editing. *

• If given the opportunity, additional resources and materials, how would you improve the DNA Nano Robot’s performance, design, and quality?
