PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVE

The objective of the project is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are earned by shooting down the opponent's towers and dragon (see below). The arena is shown below:

The rules of the game are the following:

  • The robot must fit within a 12" x 12" x 12" box.
  • The robot must stay on its own size within its walls.
  • The robot must start from the Throne Room without any wildfire.
  • The robot can only be manually loaded with wildfire in the Royal Armoury after it has triggered the munition receiver button.
  • The robot can hold up to 6 wildfire at a time.
  • Destroying a tower on the other side (>50% mass knocked down) yields 1 point. Shooting the dragon yields 2 points.
  • Dragonstone, Winterfell, and the Dragon have IR beacons emitting at a set frequency and duty cycle. King's Landing and Casterly Rock do not have IR beacons. The beacons will turn off after destruction.
  • The robot must operate completely autonomously.
  • The robot must be controlled by one or more Teensys, be powered by batteries (no Li-ion), and be constructed with a $200 budget.
  • A game round lasts 2:10.
