Challenge Rules
Rescue Line will operate under a special set of rules for this event, available by clicking here. The key difference in the rules is the rescue courses are simplified to allow creation using A3 paper (click here to download PDF for printing, be sure to set your print settings to Colour, A3, Fit to Page)).
Divisions
1 – Primary Rescue, Secondary Rescue, Open Rescue
These divisions operate similar to as described in the standard rules with teams designing, building and programming their own robot (using any robot platform of their choice).
2 – Primary Rescue (Standard Design), Secondary Rescue (Standard Design)
These divisions operate similar to as described in the standard rules, however, teams will build their robot in either EV3 or Spike Prime following the below instructions, and then submit their program to us, which will we run on the relevant robot design. These divisions is most suitable for teams who do not have access to physical robots, as they can simply program to suit their choice of Standard Design, and then submit this to us for running on the courses.
Robots can be programmed in the current or previous generation EV3 software, graphical Spike Prime software, or EV3Dev.
– Spike Prime Standard Design for Primary Rescue (available here)
– Spike Prime Standard Design for Secondary Rescue (builds on the above Primary Rescue design) (available here)
– EV3 Standard Design for Primary Rescue and Secondary Rescue (available here)
For teams entering the Standard Design divisions without robots to test with, they may wish to utilise the ev3sim to test their programs (https://ev3sim.mhsrobotics.club/). Please note ev3sim can only simulate EV3Dev or EV3 Graphical (original) programs, it does not support EV3 Classroom.
