Where all the action happens

3. Missions
The opportunities for the Robot to score points

4. Models
All LEGO objects already on the Field when you get there

5. Equipment
Everything the team brings to the field, including the Robot, jigs, and attachments

6. Basic Match Flow
Teams bring their Equipment to the Field for inspection and setup/calibration
After a countdown, Robots are Launched and given 2 ½ minutes to autonomously accomplish Missions
Teams may Launch the Robot multiple times
At the end of the match, teams must stop their Robots
The referees will score the board with the team
Only the final condition of the Field is evaluated for scoring
At least three matches, though only the best counts

7. Field Components Mat – Includes the launch area and all Missions
12-inch height limit at launch
Home – The entirety of your storage area
All Equipment must remain in Home while not being used
All Models starting in or brought Home must remain in Home while not being used
Robot and cargo must be fully in home to interrupt it without penalty

8. Inspection Areas
Before the match, teams must show that all Equipment fits in either the large or small area (12-inch height limit)
Fitting in the small area grants the team advantage
5 points added to each Mission where you score ANY points
10 points added for Mission 2
Does not apply to Mission 14 (Precision Tokens)

9. Mission Demos

10. Important Ensure your Models are built correctly
Can use any software to program the Robot
Only one Robot is allowed at each match (no laptops)
You must arrive a few minutes prior to the match time on the schedule to allow time for inspection and setup/calibration
Teams should not touch anything on the Field except for the Robot
Anything the Robot alters stays as-is unless the Robot alters it further
Robot Performance is 25% of the teams final score
