"Geography and climate can create significant challenges for the businesses and transportation of goods in some parts of the world such as the Rocky Mountains. Keep roads clear of snow and rock without risking human life is important. Your challenge is to design a robot that can clear the most snow and rock.

The Challenge will begin with a 30 second autonomous period. A robot in its starting configuration must fit inside an 8in cube. After the match begins a robot can extend at most 3in in any direction. Robots can score points by navigating to the reservoir, scoring preloaded snow. Each piece of snow scored is worth 10 points. Robots that position themselves at the end of the autonomous period in the center of the reservoir ramp score an additional 10 points. Robots that park on the pass will score an additional 5 points.

After the 30 seconds autonomous robots can enter the 2-minute driver control period of the challenge. During the driver controlled period, robots should clear the slide area and pass off snow and rocks and place them in the reservoir. Human players may assist the robots by placing additional snow in the slide area. Each snow and rock deposited in the correct area earns 5 points. Robots may not impede other robots from scoring in their reservoir. Robots may not intentionally entangle other robots. Human players may not throw snow at other human players.

The last 30 seconds is the end game. Robots who park on the pass will earn 10 points. Robots may also earn points for parking in the cleared slide area, worth five points. If all four rocks are in the quarry at the end of the game, there is a 15-point coopertition bonus added to the score at the end of the match. If a red and blue robot is parked on the pass at the end of the game, an additional 10 coopertition points are added to each team’s score."

This is just a summary of the challenge. Be sure to refer to the game manual for additional details and we hope you have fun competing.
