Robot Design Rubric
	Needs Improvement 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Innovative Design	Needs Improvement Design, drive train, and structure are standard. Manipulators/sensors used in expected ways, if used. Strategy for combining missions expected. Programming written as expected.	Fair Design creative, unique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coordinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 1 of the 4 above is demonstrated)	Good Design creative, uique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coodinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 2 of the 4 above are demonstrated)	Excellent Design creative, unique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coodinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 1 done exceptionally or 3 of the 4 above demonstrated.)
Kids Did the Work	Needs Improvement Little knowledge of why some parts are located as they are on the robot. Little or no understanding of what pieces did. Building/programming appears primarily done by coach.	Fair Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows minimal understanding of underlying design, science, and technology (age specific expectations). Building and programming seems primarily directed by coach.	Good Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows moderate understanding of underlying desing, science, and technology (ae specific expectations). Building/programming mostly directed by team members, with help from coach.	Excellent Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows thorough understanding of underlying design, science, and technology (age specific expectations). Building/programming was done by team memebers.
Overall Design	Needs Improvement Robot lacks most critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use, attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Few components work together; few components look like they belong together.	Fair Robot lacks many critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use, attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Some components work together; some components look like they belong together.	Good Robot lacks some critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Most components work together; most compenents look like they belong together.	Excellent Robot is elegant, complete system. All components work well together. All components look like they belong together.
