Here are the competition rules: Your robot must start from the green starting area. You cannot touch it once you start the program. You will have 2 minutes for your robot to complete it's program. You may have your robot solve 1 or all of the challenges that you want and you can do them in any order. You may not touch any of the blocks during a challenge, even if it is in the way.

You may build attachments to your robot to be able to move, push, pull or knock items over. BE CREATIVE!!!

What is the total number of points you could earn? Which challenge looks the easiest? Which looks the hardest? |
2. Open a new project on the Spike Essentials program. Go to SAVE AS and name it with all of your first names. Do not use commas or dots, just letters and spaces. You only use SAVE AS the very first time. As you work you will continue to save, but only click on save to do that.
Your team will have today, Wednesday, and Thursday to plan and code and practice. Please take turns at the tables and be respectful of other teams.
The official competition will begin on Friday after we open the program and are ready. Each team will get 1 chance to earn their points. If time permits, we will take 2 turns and your highest score will be the one that counts.
Good Luck Teams!

1. Have your robot and program ready for competition.
This is just for fun. Please be a good sport and cheer each other on. This was about being creative with your building and how you approached the challenges. Keep it friendly and let's have some fun today.
After all the teams have competed, we will check the time. We may or may not do a second round. After I call the competition completed, then you may take your robot apart and put the totes away.
2. You may have free time on pmasterson.net.
