Ocean Science Exploration

Game Description

The Ocean theme challenges student built robots to assist humans in exploring the bottom of the sea.  These tasks increase the difficulty for robot design and capabilities for more experienced VEX GO students.  The theme provides many real world topics for students to discuss and explore as they build new robots for a new competition.

VEX GO Competition

VEX GO Competition is played on a 3’ x 6’ field. Teams compete in the Robot Skills Competition where one robot takes the field to score as many points as possible. These matches consist of Solo Driving Skills Matches, Cooperative Driving for two teams, and Coding Skills Matches, which will be autonomous with limited human interaction.

Details

The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by completing each task. A single team will complete as many tasks as possible in 2 minutes during the Solo Driver Skills run. Two teams will work together to complete as many tasks as possible in 1 minute during the Teamwork Drivers Skills run. A single team will complete as many tasks as possible in 1 minute during the Coding Skills match.
