The College of
Engineering 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 can
choose to participate in a single mission, multiple missions, or all
missions.
Teams must use
only one RCX and the contents of one Robotics Invention Systems set
(1.0, 1.5, or 2.0) or Robolab Team Challenge plus one additional
motor and light sensor
during the Challenge. 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 Coach will bring the team RCX
to the registration table on game day so that the serial number can
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.

We are grateful to the American Society for
Quality (ASQ) who audited the
courses to ensure that the "as-built" versions matched the
"as-designed"
versions. ASQ verified the dimensions for completeness and
accuracy. This is
typically done with most engineering designs to ensure that the
part was
built to the specifications.
