2022 Made 2 Order  Robots servicing and controlling other robots

Game Description

Many fulfillment firms use a robot to gather up the specific items in a warehouse and deliver them to be packed and shipped. A robot whose brain is a computer. That Robot鈥檚 brain knows the location of each item and has calculated the most efficient way to retrieve items from those locations. 

For the past 29 years BEST students have designed and built that type of robot. Its brain was replaced by the student鈥檚 brain and its dexterity was replaced by the student鈥檚 dexterity on the controls, but not this year. This year the student driver is being replaced by a robot. 

Teams are tasked with design, build, and control a robot that has replaced the human driver. The team robot must assemble and control another robot.

Squeaky is the robot mascot for BEST Robotics, Inc.  Squeaky鈥檚 name came from a caster wheel that was slightly burned during construction and caused a distinct squeak sound when the caster wheel rotated on the demonstration robot. Squeaky has participated in many of the past BEST games, but this year Squeaky needs your help. The field includes four tracks, each with a partially completed copy of Squeaky. Squeaky will need to have parts added to be able to collect various robot pieces that are needed to fulfill orders. Specifically, teams are tasked with:

鈥 Prepare for order fulfillment by moving order boxes into appropriate locations

鈥 finishing the assembly of Squeaky, also known as the Field Robot 

鈥 using the team constructed Team Robot to control the Field Robot 

鈥 using the Field Robot to collect robot parts to fulfill orders.
