Re: Rules Test for Ultimate Ascent

On top of the rules, I would think a quiz on the working of your individual robot would help. My philosophy has always been that there should be four people on the field capable of diagnosing and fixing the robot. For example:

1) Mike tells you to shut the dump valve on the robot. Where is it?

A) Next to the dummy light on the shooter.
B) Next to the solenoid block.
C) On top of the left Super Shifter
D) Beside the Main Breaker

2) The (pneumatic) shooting hook is not pulling the frisbees into the shooter. What could be the issue?

A) The robot has low battery
B) The robot has low air
C) The robot is losing communications
D) The intake is broken

3) The robot is not getting communications. Which could NOT be the issue?

A) Robot is off
B) Dump valve is open
C) D-link is unplugged
D) cRio is unplugged

4) The code is broken. Whose fault is it?

A) Jack
B) Jack
C) Jack
D) Jack
