Re: Team Update #18

This is what it's all about:

Quote:
TRIGGERED – the act of pushing the bottom disk of the TARGET so that the sensors are tripped and a signal is sent to the Field Management System (FMS). When a TARGET is TRIGGERED, the MINIBOT RACE on that TOWER is complete.
You gotta TRIGGER the TARGET. If your minibot doesn't TRIGGER the TARGET reliably, you might need to redesign your minibot.

The description of the ARENA suggests that it will take a minimum force of 2-4 Newtons to TRIGGER the TARGET.
