The following rules apply to the Cleveland Cage Match Tournament -- as they are now. Your suggestions are encouraged!
Cage Match:
The Cage Match will last for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. It is a 1 on 1 match. Robots must travel in a counter- clockwise direction. Once a robot has passed a finish line it cannot break the plane going in a clockwise direction.
• Two points awarded each time a robot crosses either of the two finish lines on the field.
• Two points awarded each time a robot pushes a ball across the line under the overpass, as long as robot is not touching the ball when it breaks the plane of the line under the overpass.
• Eight points awarded each time a robot hurdles the ball over the overpass. The ball must pass over the overpass and land on the floor of the opposite side in order for the hurdle to count. Touching the overpass during the process is allowed.
• If the ball is placed on top at the end of the match an additional 10 points will be awarded to the team that placed it. There will be no points awarded for a ball that was never knocked down but is left on the overpass at the end of the match.
• The format of the matches will be that of a double elimination. Each team will have two matches, the highest comprehensive score of those two teams will move on to the next elimination bracket.
• When there are two robots left the finals will take place, the finals will be scored differently; the finals will be a best of 3 match’s elimination. The robot to win 2 matches first will be claimed the winner of the Cage Match.
Dancing Competition:
Robot should be programmed autonomously to dance to music. The robot will be in the field without the overpass and dividing wall. Teams will have the option of starting with one or both of the balls used in the cage match. At the start the balls may be placed wherever teams would like but once the dance routine starts there will be nobody allowed on the field until the routine is over.
Scores will be determined as follows:
• There are four judges each with a set of cards with the values 1 through 10 in increments of ½. (ex. 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 9.5, 10)
• The dance competition consists of two rounds.
• The scores earned by each robot will be averaged resulting in a final score. The robot with the highest average score will be claimed the winner of the dance competition.
Trick My Bot’ Competition:
The Trick My Bot’ Competition will take place outdoors. The teams will participate in the competition by being a part of the robot parade. The teams will try to make their robot appear as nice and flashy as possible. Teams are encouraged to bring decorations to dress up their robot prior to the parade. Teams will be judged on the appearance and presentation. The robot that receives the most votes during the parade will be claimed the winner of the Trick My Bot’ Competition.
