Engineering 1282.01H The SHOP Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 7

Engineering 1282.01H The RAMP Only access point from the FACTORY to the SHOP Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 8

Engineering 1282.01H WONKA RF transmission Have to mount IR beacon on DROID Tells your DROID: Number of times to press the OVEN BUTTON Sends kill signal after 2 minutes or on CHARGER activation Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 9

Engineering 1282.01H The CHARGE ZONE DROID begins on the CHARGE ZONE The run begins when the red start light is illuminated Each DROID will start with the SCOOP Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 10

Engineering 1282.01H The SCOOP Start with the SCOOP Must be within the 9 x9 footprint of the DROID when you start Cannot modify SCOOP in any way Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 11

Engineering 1282.01H The OVEN & OVEN BUTTON The OVEN has the OVEN BUTTON on the front of it Have to press it at least once WONKA tells you how many times to press it Object points (2, 3, or 4) Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 12

Engineering 1282.01H The CANDY MAKER & SWITCH Flip the SWITCH on the CANDY MAKER to release the CANDY into the CHUTE Will always have to flip from right to left Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 13

Engineering 1282.01H The CHUTE CANDY falls through the CHUTE into the DRUM in the SHOP Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 14

Engineering 1282.01H The PIN Touch the PIN Remove the PIN completely, which allows the CANDY to fall into the DRUM Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 15

Engineering 1282.01H The SKID Convey the SKID to the CHILLER Get some points for delivering it to the SHOP Cannot break the plane of the bottom of the RAMP Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 16

Engineering 1282.01H The CHILLER More points for putting the SKID completely within CHILLER No part of the SKID can break the plane of the front of the CHILLER Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 17

Engineering 1282.01H The COUNTER Right Left Either COUNTER counts for full points Correct COUNTER for object points Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 18

Engineering 1282.01H The LIGHT Tells which COUNTER to put the SCOOP in Designated as if you were standing in the SHOP: Red = Right Blue = Left Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 19

Engineering 1282.01H The CHARGER Press the CHARGER to stop the run Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 20

Engineering 1282.01H Objects Penalties Penalties for: Disturbing competitor s objects Own objects crossing into another DROID s course (at the end of the run or touched by your competitor) Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 21

Engineering 1282.01H PLAY NICE! If you damage the course, your team will pay to fix it out of your team budget. Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 22

Engineering 1282.01H THE END!! Have fun and good luck!!! Rev: 20140116, MEI Robot Scenario 23
