Contest rules

From Maslab 2007

Robot Restrictions

1. Robots can have a footprint no larger than 14x14 inches. Height is not restricted, but keep in mind that your team is responsible for housing your robot outside of lab hours. Therefore you will be carrying your robot around (likely in your team tub) and an excessively tall robot will be hard to handle.
2. Robots must not use any power sources except those provided by Maslab.
3. Robots must be able to boot unattended and run your robot from the orcpad without network access.
4. Robots may only use one camera (unless you are planning on using stereo vision, in which case you should discuss your plans with staff).

The Game

Your robot will have five minutes on the playing field. Points are scored by the following system:

Posession: 1 point

A ball is possessed by the robot if it is within the robot chassis or within the robot's control - i.e. if the robot moves, the ball moves.

Porch: 2 points

A ball is on the porch if it is within a 12 inch radius of the center of the goal.

Goal: 4 points

The ball remains mostly past the yellow goal entrance after the round is over.
