It is important to create an effective strategy for your robot game to achieve many points. With a well-designed strategy, you can collect and deliver all the delivery tasks (example the diver), stay within the time limit and earn a lot of points!
Follow the steps below to develop an effective strategy!
First, look at all the tasks and their scores! Determine how many points you can get and in what combinations you can effectively solve each task!
Tip: Label the models with their scores so you can look at them while you work!
With gears and axels you can build mechanisms that are rotated by the robot's motor! With these you can achieve movements that cannot be achieved with passive attachments!
Tip: If you can only place the gears far apart, use a chain!
Passive mechanisms are structures that solve tasks without the motors rotation. With them, you don't use your robot's motors and have more space for active mechanisms!
Tip: Try to build as many passive elements as possible for an efficient attachment!
Design mechanisms for the mission models that can be used to solve them (even a lever is enough)!
Plan navigation to the rounds so the robot can quickly reach the models and solve the tasks in a logical order!
Tip: Try to navigate with as few movements as possible, so you don't lose valuable time!
Program a few sequences of movements with a simple robot to practice designing navigation!
Plan your rounds and document your finalized strategy so that your team members know every detail! Create a visual plan with a digital design program!
This way you can present your strategy digitally.
Draw one of your rounds using the design program and the knowledge you have acquired!
