This year’s game goes by the name of INVICTA 2021. The goal of the game is to build a fully autonomous robot that can read a code and execute the task of building pine block structures as indicated on a build instruction cards. There are 25 different building models, and therefore there must be 25 different build codes. On each card, the highest number of points that is attainable is indicated, along with its ranked difficulty.
Due to the current global situation, the CRC does not have one host school, but each school will host the virtual competition itself. Due to this the field as been greatly reduced to compensate for less available field space at the different schools and works as such…
1.The Robot Start zone
2.The 5 block zones that contain the necessary blocks to build the models
3.The construction zones
4.The hoop that stops time
The game pieces come in many shapes and sizes this year and are to be used to construct, and the robots must be able to pick up said blocks to achieve the highest score possible IN 5 MINUTES.
Point Calculation
If construction is easy and done within 5 minutes, then the ball and ring options acts as a time stopper. Based on how much time is left in the round, it acts as a multiplier and using the formula MAX(FLOOR.MATH(5-elapsed_time),1) the multiplier is calculated. This is only achieved once the tennis ball goes through the ring. Depending on the difficulty level, if the stack is completed, there are bonus points awarded.
