Robot designed by individual
Amazing

Robot assembles easily, with no errors.

Robot base stable and robust.

Attachments modular, function as expected and easily added/removed from robot. Robot displays wide range of capabilities.

Attachments perform tasks extremely well and are repeatable.

Robot designed by individual design is unique and creative.
Operation

Attempted

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.
Acceptable

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.
Admirable

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
Amazing

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
Programming

Attempted

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.
Acceptable

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.
Admirable

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.
Amazing

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

Attempted

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 instructor.

Seldom cooperated with other.

Hardly did any work on the robot themselves.

Rarely offered useful ideas.
Acceptable

Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows minimal understanding of underlying design, science, and technology.

Building and programming seems primarily directed by instructor.

Sometimes cooperated with the others

Could have done more.

Sometimes offered useful ideas.
Admirable

Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows moderate understanding of underlying design, science, and technology.

Building/programming mostly directed by individual/team members, with help from instructor.

Cooperative with the others

Did their part of the work.

Usually offered useful ideas.
Amazing

Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows thorough understanding of underlying design, science, and technology.

Building/programming 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

Attempted

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.
Acceptable

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.
Admirable

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
Amazing

Communicates complete design process, from initial concept through build, test, and refinement.

Excellent/innovative strategy, combining fight tasks, plotting attacks, maximizing points.
Troubleshooting

Attempted

None
Acceptable
