Shocker MINDSTORMS Challenge
2023 Secret Course
Not a scary course, just a secret one.
Test your robot skills on a breathtaking circuit but take care not to fall off the curve.
NOTE: For full points on the secret course the team's robot will be required to lift a 5.5cm diameter ball from a golf tee. Carry the ball to an elevated hoop, and drop the boll through a hoop. The robot may start anywhere of the course, but may not be touching any balls before the start.
Good luck.
This course will be required for all Expert level teams. (Intermediate level teams may choose to run this course as one of their three courses.)
While a secret course sounds scary, this is a course that can be conquered by Expert and Intermediate level teams.
Important points to remember:
- All teams will see the course for the first time on Competition Day, March 4th. No photos or drawings will be released.
- The skills you have practiced for your other courses will work on this course.
- While achieving 1000 points may take some work, all teams should do well with little difficulty.
Don’t let this course scare you, consider it a challenge to see a course in the morning and program for success throughout the day. Let’s see what our young people can do!
