Main Issues	Questions	Max Points
Rings to pegs	What type of robot movement is   needed? Speed, Force? How many motors are needed? How do you align robot up with pegs? Are there ways that the robot could be less procise? Which spot has best value? How to change levels of arm? How to pick up ring from dispensor? How to let go of ring?	15*3+10*3+5*3+8*30=330*2=660
Lift robot	Assume that last years robot is   what you are trying to lift. How would you build a robot to lift last years robot? The goal is 24 inches high, start with 1 inches. Need to control center of Mass, most robots will be lopsided because of arm. How to handle center of mass?	24 inches = 30 + 5×23 =   145 12 inches = 30 + 5×11 = 85
Multiplier	How to determine heavier ring?	660*.2=132
Place ring on peg during autonomous	How do you align robot up with pegs?	50
Blocking	Is it worth blocking (Stopping in a position) to minimize scoring?
