PEARL DIVING
Playing Field
Challenge Objects
o 9 Colored cube (3 blue, 2 red, 2 green and 2 yellow cubes).
Challenge Objects
o 12 Ping-Pong balls are allowed to be loaded onto the robot by participants before the robot starts.
o The robot must start in the large green area.
Challenge Overview
o At the start of each round (post-quarantine), 9 colored cubes (3 blue cubes, 2 green cubes, 2 yellow cubes and 2 red cubes) will be randomly placed on the white squares.
Challenge Overview
o The robot's mission is to ‘dive’ into the water and determine the number of ‘pearls’ found in each of the three colored zones.
Challenge Overview
o The colored cubes must be pushed into the small colored end zone below the white square where the block is found.
Challenge Overview
0 Pearl 1 Pearl
2 Pearls 3 Pearls
Challenge Overview
o The robot must determine the number of ‘pearls’ that each cube represents by its color.
o Each ‘pearl’ found is represented by one Ping-Pong ball.
Challenge Overview
o The sum of the ‘pearls’ found in a colored zone gives the total number of Ping-Pong balls the robot should deposit into the large colored area associated with that zone.
Challenge Overview
o To make sure the diver does not run out of air, the diver must touch the border of the large colored zones within every 30 seconds. If the diver runs out of air the attempt is immediately ended.
Challenge Overview
How To Start A Robot
Step 1: Placed the robot in the start area.
Step 2: The judge will give the signal for a program to be selected (but not run).
Step 3: Wait for judges’ signal to run the program.
