Actually- I didn't look at your test but everyone interested in traveling with the team and receiving funding on Team 190 must take and pass both a rules and technical test (this is students and college mentors).

The rules test is located here: http://users.wpi.edu/~colleen/FIRST/rulestest.html
the password is controller

On the rules test, you must get 100% in order to be considered passing. You can, however, take the test as many times as necessary to pass. We feel this encourages knowledge of all the rules we deem important, not just say 70% of them. Plus, they must retake the entire test every time, so it minimizes the chance that they didn't just guess the correct answer. Oh yeah, they are not told what questions they got wrong and they must take it in the presence of of certain team members (to ensure they are not looking at the rules while taking it)

The technical test is oral and is more of a pass/fail thing. There are general questions (What is the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker and point them out on the robot) and others are specific to that year's robot (What is INS, how does it work, and why is it beneficial)

If you take the rules test, it will automatically send the answers to me, and I can let you know how well you did.
