Event 3 "Relay"

Gameboard layout: single start area, path for the robot to follow (width of line may differ)
Obstacles:
- May be placed in the course at the discretion of the Challenge design team.
- Terrain changes
- Obstacles won't be impossible to 'overcome.' Trust us.
The dimensions of the race track board is 80" by 90".
The actual path of the race track will be at least 10" from the edge of the board.
The path will be colored in black while the background of the board will be white.
Following are snapshot images of the relay board:

Both robots will be placed in separate 'startup' areas on the line in forward-looking orientation
- Order of the robots determined by the relay team
Robots must recognize the path and follow it to completion
The relay will be a "virtual" hand-off.
- 1st robot reaches the "exchange" area
- 2nd robot recognizes the presence of 1st and begins autonomously (no exogenous influence)
10 minute time limit.

Each robot pair is given 1 mulligan. 10 point deduction for use of this option.
The scoring scheme is as follows:
- The team score will be the individual robot's score
- Each robot's scores from each of the heats will be summed
- There will be only one heat (one run per team) due to time limitations
Point Structure
- First robot successfully reaches exhange area: 10 pts
- Successful exchange: 15 pts
- Second robot completes course: 10 pts
- Using a mulligan: -10 pts
- Rankings:
  - 1st best time: 40 pts
  - 2nd best time: 30 pts
  - 3rd best time: 20 pts
  - 4th best time: 15 pts
  - 5th best time: 10 pts
  - 6th best time: 5 pts

Number of combinations and relays depends on competition time remaining (maximum number of runs is 6)
Team combinations will be chosen randomly by the committee prior to the competition.
Team Assignments and order of heats:
- Team 5 & Team 7
- Team 2 & Team 8
- Team 10 & Team 3
- Team 6 & Team 1
- Team 4 & Team 9
