Evaluation Criteria for Design Review

  • Speed
    • 0 - can't move
    • 4 - slow
    • 7 - moderate
    • 10 - fast
  • maintainability / constructability
    • each DOF = minus one point
    • (1-3) - simplicity of construction
    • (1-3) - simplicity of maintainance
  • goal control
    • 1-point each: push, pull, lift, right, topple, two at a time
    • 2-points: place goal on bridge - direct multiplier
    • Time to complete: less than 5 secs - 1 point, less than 2 secs - 2 points
  • ball control
    • small ball = 1-point each
    • big ball (while on floor) = 5-points each
    • big ball (while on bridge) = 10-points each
    • Time to complete: less than 5 secs - 1 point, less than 2 secs - 2 points
  • ramp control
    • 1-point each: up, down, middle, with robot on, with 2 robots
    • Time to complete: less than 5 secs - 1 point, less than 2 secs - 2 points
  • manuverability of robot
    • 0 - no turns, no motion
    • 3 - car steering (ackerman)
    • 5 - point turns
    • 7 - crabbing
    • 9 - omnibot
    • +5 - climber
  • survivability / durability
    • 1-point each: cover over critical parts from goal, protected wheels, protected control system, protected manipulator arms
    • minus 1-point: exposed cables, strings, webbing
    • construction method: velco (0), bolts (1), welding (3)
    • material durability: (0-3)
  • traction
    • 0 - move ball
