The College of Engineering; Engineering Council, has created five different scenarios or “Missions” that a robot can complete. Each of these missions is independent of the others and will be judged separately. During the MINDSTORMS Challenge Game Day all five missions will be available for teams to complete. Teams must use only one RCX and the contents of one Robotics Invention Systems set during the Challenge so it will be necessary to rebuild and reprogram between missions. Each robot must perform the mission independent from any human contact. The robot must be programmed to perform autonomously.

All challenges will be scored and judged according to the rules specified on their corresponding pages. The Team C oach will bring the team RCX to the registration table on game day so that the serial number may be registered. The RCX serial number will be checked at every mission to ensure that the same RCX is being used throughout the day.

There are other Challenges in addition to the five missions. The MINDSTORMS Challenge encourages teamwork, presentation, and sportsmanship. To compete for the MINDSTORMS Challenge Award teams will be required to have a Notebook and Table Display, give an oral Presentation, and exhibit exemplary Sportsmanship and Spirit in addition to completing 3 of the 5 Missions.
