Question: We are having problems getting the wagon to go up the platform. What are we doing wrong?
Answer: The front lip of the grain platform has to be touching the playing surface – no 3M Dual-locks on that edge. You can secure the platform with Dual-Locks at the rear. Otherwise the wagon does not climb up well.
Question: How closed is closed on the sheep pen gate?
Answer: If the leading edge is over the area marked on the playing field that is considered closed.
Question: Does all of the grain have to actually stay in area marked on the playing field?
Answer: Yes, if any of the grain is outside the marked area the task would only be worth 20 points.
Question: If a robot moves an object but did not meet the team's objective, can they have the judges reset the object?
Answer: No. Since the robot caused the change the object would not be reset until the next round.
