Engineers and developers have been working for a long time to help us live in a healthier environment with as few harmful emissions as possible and with economical energy consumption. The aim is to minimise our ecological footprint and live in comfort and safety. As a result of the developers’ work, “smart homes” have been created to regulate the operation of various equipment and systems in a building.
In the future, smart homes will be maintained and operated by autonomous moving robots. The robots will follow pre-programmed instructions.
This year, the mission is to design a robot that can replace old light bulbs with smart lights. Your robot will take new smart lights from the storage area and bring them into different rooms (red, blue, yellow, and green areas) in the building. In addition, the robot will find old light bulbs and bring them to the trash area. This way, the robot can modernise the lighting system in the building and help save energy.
The map looks sleek in design and I feel that more space has been allocated for followline programs.
Game Objects
There are 10 bulbs: 2 old black bulbs and 8 new smart lights in blue, green red and yellow. Note that not all bulbs are used in one run.
There are three walls on the field. Movement or destruction of walls is not allowed.
Positioning of Game Objects/Randomisation
Positioning of the bulbs
Position of the black bulb in the green or yellow area
Put the two yellow and green bulbs into a bag and draw one object. The black bulb will be placed into the AREA 1 of the room you have drawn. The three other bulbs will be randomly placed on the yellow and green bulb storage bins.
Position of the black bulb in the red or blue area
Put the two red and blue bulbs into a bag and draw one object. The black bulb will be placed into the AREA 1 of the room you have drawn. The three other bulbs will be randomly placed on the red and blue bulb storage bins
Positioning of walls
The walls are placed on the dark grey areas that match exactly the size of each wall. One wall sits between the red and blue areas, one between the green and yellow areas, and one on the right side of the green area.
Robot Missions
a) Collect the black bulbs in the Trash Area
The robot should collect the black bulbs and take these to the Trash Area.
b) Deliver the smart lights to the different rooms
The robots should take the smart lights to the different rooms:
Yellow bulb into yellow room
Green bulb into green room
Red bulb into red room
Blue bulb into blue room
Smart lights need to be taken to AREA 1 an AREA 2 in different rooms. Only one smart light per area counts.
c) Park the robot
The robot must be completely inside the Start & Finish Area when the round is complete.
d) Penalty points (walls)
The walls must not be damaged or moved from the grey areas. If a wall is damaged or moved outside its light grey area, a penalty is given.
