First Robot Challenge - Barista Training
Build the arm for the robot:
Complete the barista challenge by moving a cup from the target square to the target on the shelf
Pick up cup, move from the target to the inside of the target square A
Pick up the cup, move from the target to touching the target square B
Pick up the cup and move it to touch the platform (cup falls or not) C
Pick up the cup 50%

Second Robot Challenge - Target
Start with your robot in the #3 Square of the grid
Push a block from the intersection of the grid at the 5 and 6 squares to the targeted square in the middle of the grid between 3 and 4
Box is fully within the small square: A
Box is partially within the small square: B
Box is partially within the middle square: C
Box is partially within the large square: 50%

Third Robot Challenge - Tractor Pull
Build a new platform for your robot (by disassembling the old one)
Exploring gear ratios, weight distribution and friction, design a chassis that can pull the heaviest load the fastest
The load will be the rectangular recycle bin.
It will need to be pulled from one side of the floor grid across the other side.
Coloured blocks will be added one at a time until the robot cannot pull any more.
You will be assessed on the speed of the completion and the number of blocks carried.

Mid-Term Break for Fusion 360
Click on the button below to open up the fusion 360 tutorial site. You will follow all of the assignments, and then be able to model your own robotics components for printing on the 3d printers.
Fourth Robot Challenge - Centre Finder
When your robot is placed randomly within the floor grid, use ultrasonic sensors to navigate to the centre and face North
The grid will be made of boards on each side with different colour targets in the centre of their lengths.

Virtual Robot Programming Challenge - Castle Colour Match
Complete the 3 challenges in the following document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zd19xNey6zigZVZ6sJ-i1PVEE2W9r9exG0bjv5WE-Cw/edit#heading=h.1fob9te Show Mr. Kramer when you have completed all three. You are aiming for the fastest completion time for each of the three challenges.
Fifth Robot Challenge - Hill Climb
Design a new robot chassis to solve the following problem.
Using the Adjustable Robot Ramp (also known as the Pirate ramp), start your robot in the starting zone.
Your robot must fit completely within the starting zone!
Attempt to climb the highest incline that you can.
For all inclines except 45 degrees you must have the front wheels touch the end of the board, and no part of the robot can touch anything but the incline ramp.
10 degrees: C
20 degrees: C+
30 degrees: B
40 degrees: A (86%)
45 degrees and climbing onto the table top: 100%

Virtual Robot Programming Challenge: Hidden Artwork
Program your robot to cover the entire 8x8 grid and sense the colour of each grid that it passes over. Using this information, color the image on a separate piece of paper and check with Mr. Kramer. For an extension to this exercise, you can implement a 2d list to store all of the values and print them to your console to show what the image looks like. Challenge information can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z75IYNhvaGE-0iSse1R4wOrn4JvZaXfWk8wlaLATOvo/edit#heading=h.1fob9te
Sixth Robot Challenge - Block Sort
Using a vision sensor, construct a robot that can sort blocks by colour.
You will need a conveyor or claw to pick up the blocks and place them in the goals.
The blocks (purple, green and orange) will be randomly arranged in the playing surface.
Your job is to place them accurately and quickly.
Each missed block or wrong colour is a 10 sec. penalty
You will need to complete in under 2 minutes for top marks.

Seventh Robot Challenge - Drag Race
Build a new platform for your robot (by disassembling the old one)
Exploring gear ratios and motor strengths, create a gear train that will have your robot accelerate along a track
The track will be the hallway from the exit doors to the MPR doors.
Fastest time A
<4 sec = A
<5 sec = B
<6 sec = C+
<7 sec = C
>8 sec = 50%
>10 sec = redo
