Objective
Some systems were affected at another dimension. Like some circuits which do not work because the electronic part is malfunctioning.
In this case, some water molecules are present on the board and might short-circuit it. If this system was not so deep inside the ships belly, maybe someone would have teared it apart. But in this case, we must send inside a nanobot.
Build a robot to remove the water and reestablish the circuit. It should be autonomous and able to manipulate the objects there. Remember, the water should be evaporated near the main processor. But the robot should not get to close as it can be affected by the temperature as well.
In the end, the nanobot should be able to come back to the main teleportation coordinates to get it out of there. Otherwise, he might be the source of a short-circuit.
Good luck!
Rules
- All general rules apply on this stage.
- You need to build and program your own robot.
- You are not allowed to change the scale of the robot. The robot must have the dimensions the VRT gives when importing. You are not allowed to change these dimensions.
- Make sure the projection of the robot is completely inside the start (red) area.
- There is no restriction for the height of the robot, though.
- You will need to start your recording showing us the robot fits the starting area before running the simulation, to validate your submission.
- The robot must be autonomous, of course.
- There are no surprises for this mission.
- Take care on how you write the time in the submission form. Time will be provided in seconds, with decimal! If this is not correctly inputed or transformed from VRT scoreboard, the submission will be invalidated.
Scoring
- Upon submitting, you must provide the video link, along with the final score. The score recorded on the scoreboard must be the same with the one you insert manually upon submitting. Differences will automatically invalidate your submission.
- There are two tasks in this mission: remove water molecules and reestablish contacts.
- Each water molecules scores 3 points.
- Each contact established scores 5 points.
- Returning to start area scores 5 points. But only if the contacts were established previously.
- Every participant who completely and correctly finishes the mission will get 35 points, regardless the time recorded.
- Time counts for this mission. The standings will be based on the next criteria:
- Best scores first;
- In case of ties, best time will be taken in consideration.
- Bonus points will be awarded as such:
- 5 points to the 1st classified;
- 4 points to the 2nd classified;
- 3 points to the 3rd classified;
- 2 points to the 4th classified;
- 1 point to the 5th classified.
