CRC is an organization which prepares activities for students to show their knowledge on sciences, maths, arts and language. Each year, they organize a competition between different schools including high schools and cegeps. This year, the goal of the project is to build a robot able to move, to pick up several balls and to throw them on targets.
game rules
The robots compete against each other in teams of two (the Yellow team and the Blue Team) in a rectangular playing field. The teams change from heat to heat. Two robots (from two different schools) share half of the playing field while their two opponents share the other half. In each half, there are five targets placed as a pyramid and in the back, there is a red target.
The goal of the game is to pick up the balls that are on the ground and throw them on the targets in front of them. You obtain 10 points when you hit a target at the front, 20 points for the targets in the middle and 40 points for the ones at the back. When the red target is hit, it doubles the points. The team that hits it the most times is the one that will have their points multiplied by two. A team can also gain 10 points if it catches a ball directly from the opponent. An additional 10 points is given to the robot that made the catch.
Also, a school that doesn't follow the rules can have a penalty.
