Team Challenge: Circuit Race


Teams will write a program to get their robots around a square racecourse. You will need to use your knowledge from the:

• “Wheels and Distance”
• “Right Face
• “Measured Turns”

Scoring
• A (100 pts)- Able to maneuver around the course on first official run (using knowledge from distance and turns activities)
• B (85 pts) - Able to maneuver through part of course (1/2 way) with on first official run. Can maneuver through whole course after revising program (2nd try works: +5 pts).
• C (75 pts)- Able to maneuver at least to first turn on first official run. Can maneuver through whole course after revising program (2nd try works +5 pts)
• D (65 pts)- Not able to maneuver course on first try and cannot complete course after revising
