Robot Wars: Episode II - Quadrum 2004

The main goal of this event is to raise the balls off of the playing field and to deposit them in the funnels.

Eight different rounds will take place, in which there will be teams of two. These paired groups will be chosen at random.

There will be two different colored balls located around the perimeter. Each robot is permitted to carry two balls at the beginning of each round; however, the balls do not count as parts of the robot. Each team can attempt to put as many balls as possible into the tubes. These tubes are located in the center of the playing field; there are twenty-five tubes in total, 16 of which are located on the bottom level, 8 on the second level, and the last one on the highest level.

The playing field is a square, and the four robots will be placed at the four corners. Every round will last for a total of five minutes. Any ball that is left on the robot at the end of the round can be placed into a tube without penalty.

Four points will be allocated to those who place the top ball in the tube on the bottom level; each tube holds a maximum of 3 balls: five points for the middle level, and six points for the top level. If a 2x2 square has been formed (Having the top balls in a 2x2 fashion) the points allocated for that level will be doubled. With a 3x3 square, the points will be triple. Only the six best scores will be accumulated to determine your score, as the two worst scores will be exempt.

The robot must fit into a 50x75x100cm box before each round. The teams can choose which dimensions are height, length, and width. Extensions are permitted as long as they can be retracted.
