Robot Design Rubric
	Emerging Shows none to almost no effort. 1 pts	Developing Shows minimal effort w/disregard to assignment instructions. 2 pts	Proficient Shows significant effort, but lacks some elements of the assignment. 3 pts	Extending Shows outstanding effort meeting most if not all elements of design criteria 4 pts
Basic Sumo bot (-.5 for not designing your own)	Emerging Difficulty with robot assembly of base bot No customization at all Robot assembly done with more than 10 errors or is not built. Base design not followed easily	Developing Robot assembly done with 5 to 10 errors. Robot base structure has some stability. Base weak, falls apart when handled or run. Base design followed will some difficulty	Proficient Slow robot assembly, with 5 or less errors Robot base stable, but not robust. Customized to some degree, mostly basic shell Base design easily followed with some mistakes made	Extending Robot assembles easily, with no errors. Robot base stable and robust. Although the basic shape is the same, it is personalized and recognizably yours. Attachments perform tasks extremely well and are repeatable. Base design easily followed with no build issues
Own SUMO bot design	Emerging Difficulty with robot assembly of base bot Robot assembly done with more than 10 errors or is not built. No customization at all Robot copied from other designs and not modified by individual	Developing Robot assembly done with 5 to 10 errors. Robot base structure has some stability. Attempted personalization, but gave up. Attachments difficult to apply; and /or not modular; not precise or not repeatable. Base weak, falls apart when handled or run. Robot show signs of individual's design ideas.	Proficient Slow robot assembly, with 5 or less errors Robot base stable, but not robust. A definitive and unique shape/design. However, evident compromises were made. Robot designed by individual	Extending Robot assembles easily, with no errors. Robot base stable and robust. Full of character and life, the design of your bot is one of a kind. Attachments perform tasks extremely well and are repeatable. Robot designed by individual design is unique and creative.
Operation	Emerging Difficulty competing in 3 rounds without fixes between each round Too fast for accuracy, or too slow to accomplish mission. Turns inaccurate or inconsistent. Moves between starting line and boundary inconsistently. No effort to know position on SUMO mat. Does not see white line or opponent. Robot did not perform at all.	Developing Completes 3 rounds with some breaks in between to repair minor damage Turns sometimes accurate. Sometimes moves starting lines and boundary consistently. Little or no effort to know position on SUMO mat. Does see the white line or the opponent but not consistently Your robot did something, but did not perform well in fights that it was supposed to.	Proficient Completes 3 rounds without breaks most of the time. Not too fast for accuracy or too slow to accomplish fight Turns reasonably accurate and consistent. Allows for variables such as light changes or movement of opponent Sees the white boundary and the opposition most times and reacts as expected Your robot won most bouts	Extending Completes 3 rounds without breaks Adjusts speed and position sensing for optimum speed and accuracy. Turns accurately and consistently. Allows for variables (battery wear, moving opponents, light changes). Consistenly sees the white boundary and opposition and reacts as expected Your robot was successful, it performed successfully in all bouts
Design	Emerging Programs disorganized Programs inefficient Results unpredictable Sensors inadequately used. Programs do not accomplish expected tasks. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions defined but unused. Student can't describe what run will do.	Developing Programs somewhat organized Programs efficient at completing some tasks. Results somewhat unpredictable Programs do some of what is expected Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, not understood.	Proficient Programs organized. Programs efficient at completing most tasks. Programs do what they're expected to do. Sensors used effectively, if used. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, are needed. Student can describe most of program and its effects.	Extending Programs logically organized. Programs very efficient. Programs always work, even for complex tasks. Sensors, if used, guarantee certain actions in every trial. Programs work in competition as in practice. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, are effective. Students can describe how to improve program as required
Student Contribution	Emerging Little knowledge of why some parts are located as they are on the robot. Little or no understanding of what pieces did. Building appears primarily done by instructor. Seldom cooperated with other. Hardly did any work on the robot themselves. Rarely offered useful ideas.	Developing Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows minimal understanding of underlying design, science, and technology. Building seems primarily directed by instructor. Sometimes cooperated with the others Could have done more. Sometimes offered useful ideas.	Proficient Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows moderate understanding of underlying design, science, and technology. Building mostly directed by individual/team members, with help from instructor. Cooperative with the others Did their part of the work. Usually offered useful ideas.	Extending Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows thorough understanding of underlying design, science, and technology. Building was done by individual Always willing to help and do more. Did their share and helped others to complete. Routinely offered useful ideas.
Strategy, Process, Problem-Solving	Emerging Uses standard design. No design process (from initial concept through build, test, refinement) communicated. Strategy based only on ease of task - did not maximize time, combine tasks or consider points.	Developing Some forethought in initial design. Refinement of robot and programs not communicated. Strategy often based on ease of task -few risks taken. Some consideration of time, sensor combinations or maximizing points.	Proficient Basic understanding of design process, evidence of conceptual planning, building, testing, refining of robot, manipulators, programs. Effective strategic planning, combining fight tasks, program ideas and build designs	Extending Communicates complete design process, from initial concept through build, test, and refinement. Excellent/innovative strategy, combining fight tasks, plotting attacks, maximizing points.
Troubleshooting	Emerging None	Developing Recognizes, attempts with little or no success.	Proficient Can perform troubleshooting most of the time. Moderate success getting robot to achieve attempted objectives.	Extending Always performs troubleshooting without being asked. Works on robotic design, programming and features until objectives are achieved.
Resources	Emerging Does not use resources even though available	Developing Usually reads and uses general and basic resources available.	Proficient Reads and uses general resources. Will seek outside resources and information when prompted or provided.	Extending Almost always seeks outside resources. Books, internet sites/searches, other software are consulted frequently.
Redesign	Emerging Cannot identify issues Does not attempt redesign to improve result	Developing Identifies some issues with performance Attempts limited redesign which does not improve performance	Proficient Identifies issues with performance Attempts redesign which improves performance to a small degree	Extending Identifies multiple issues with redesign Redesigns robot improving performance in specific areas
