Color Conundrum Rules Update 1 released (see end of page). The changes in it are summarized here:
3/11/2021 update
Submission dates have been pushed out one week to ensure teams have access to mats. The designated recording period for Challenge #2 Color Conundrum is between 12:01 AM April 2nd and 11:59 PM April 3rd.
Sensors must be attached to the robot, and all sensor data must be processed by the Romi or by the Raspberry Pi. Sensors can pre-process data before handing it off to the Romi or the Raspberry Pi.
Teams must submit one autonomous run and one teleoperated run. If the team chooses to submit an auto run from Course 1, then the teleop run must be from Course 2. If the team chooses to submit an auto run from Course 2, then the teleop run must be from Course 1.
Scoring and awards are clarified in section 5, Scoring and Awards.
Color Conundrum is about choice. Which path for you, and which path for your robot? In this challenge, you must send your robot on its own journey, and then drive the robot on a different path. The choice is yours as to which is which.
This is a timed challenge. Registered FRC teams can submit one autonomous and one teleoperated entry. Teams must submit their code with their times. Teams must record their runs during the designated period and then submit their times, code and link to their video to the form located at https://bit.ly/3rhuIFM
Teams may only submit one set of runs per challenge. The runs do not need to be recorded with the same robot and on the same mat. Teams are encouraged to try different solutions and then submit their best time for their Autonomous and Teleoperated runs.
The designated recording period for Challenge #2 Color Conundrum is between 12:01 AM March 26 and 11:59 PM March 27. All runs must be recorded during this time window. No submissions will be accepted before or after this time window.
