Event Rules:
The objective of this contest is to beat your opponent to the finish line.
- Once a bot starts the course, it must remain autonomous or be disqualified
- A robot must wait 5 seconds after the "RUN" button is pressed before moving down the course. Any bot not waiting the five seconds will be given a "false start". Each robot is granted one "false start" per heat. If the robot false starts twice the robot is disqualified. If the robot must be reprogrammed for any reason it is disqualified for that heat.
- A bot that wanders off the race course will be disqualified
- Upon reaching the finish line the robot must perform some action to signify that it has reached it (play a song, turn on a light, do a little dance...").
