Re: FLL Ocean Odyssey Challenge

I would have to disagree. But then I have an advantage because I have it set up in my house :-)

The research vessel is mounted on a "wobbly" platform. One can only presume that robots will need to get onto the research vesel. which may be a challenge due to the slop and the unstable nature of the platform.

Also, something not obvious from looking at a picture of the field is the VERY insteresting way the flags are placed. I won't tip it, and no idea what the mission there will be, but it is obvious it will be very hard.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi, Jason from 759 here...

Just wondering if you have the dimensions of the mat?

Any info much appreciated.

Re: FLL Ocean Odyssey Challenge

It is 8 feet x 4 feet. If you look at prior year challenges on the fll website you can see how the board it sits on is constructed.

Cheers,

Peter

Re: FLL Ocean Odyssey Challenge

As a mentor of a team, the field looks interestingly difficult to navigate through.
That may change when the objectives are released, so that's just a first impression. Nonetheless, good luck to all teams this year.

Re: FLL Ocean Odyssey Challenge

We've got frames from previous years, but just wanted to know if we'd need to alter them at all.

Thanks very much.
