Construct a device that can
"walk" along a straight path through a displacement of three
metres.
Participants
Teams of up to six.
Materials
Supplied by the team.
Rules
The emphasis in this event is on creativity. The intent is that
the device will propel itself using articulated limbs while exhibiting
a recognizable gait. Devices that roll on wheels are ineligible
for this event . The device need not be self-contained and no restrictions
will be placed on energy sources except for safety considerations.
Judging
If your robot travels 3.0 meters in less than 600 seconds, your
score equals the time taken in seconds. If your robot travels less
than 3.0 metres in this time, your score equals 600 plus the distance
measured in millimetres from the finish line at t = 600 seconds.
