to the participants.
○ Minor breakage = breakage that still allow the robot to function properly.
 Game Play (Robot Control)
● Robot must only be controlled wirelessly via bluetooth using laptop
● Robot must be able started manually.
● Only Mindstorm EV3 and Scratch 3.0, Spike platforms are allowed to be used.
● Robot must be able to move in all directions.
 Game Play (Ball Control)
● Ball Capturing Zones are defined as any internal space created when a straight edge is place
on any of the protruding points of a robot that can touch the ball
● The ball cannot penetrate the Ball Capturing Zone by more than 10 mm.
● A robot cannot hold a ball. Holding a ball means removing any of the balls degrees of
freedom. For example, this could mean fixing a ball to the robot, surrounding or trapping the
ball with any parts of the robot body and also being held underneath a robot. If a ball stops
rolling while a robot is moving, or a ball does not rebound when rolled into a stationary robot, it
is a good indication that the ball is held and is illegal.
