Description: NEW! Updated 1/21/05
The course involves the robot to complete a series of tasks as it moves along. The tasks involve hitting the wall to make it fall (8inx5in and made of cardboard), the next task is to collect the ring (R1.25) hanging on the pin (8in high) and drop it into the box (8inx5in) termed as a bomb in the story. Next, you need to open the gate by moving the lock which is 7.5in above ground by hitting or touching on the curved part(R3.5). You just have to move the lock that’s it (the gate will rise up itself due to the weight placed along the other end) and turn it about the pin to which it is pivoted. In the end you have to reach the end point there are various levels associated along the path, each level has certain points associated details are given in the drawing.

Note: you can also choose to ask for the ring at the start of the course instead of collecting it yourself, in this case you wont get any points for collecting the ring.
