Example Course
All measurements in the example course are approximate. There is a solid line dividing
Area "A" from Area "T" at position "F.” This indicates where the course ends. The line is
black, approximately 2.25 inches wide and spaced approximately two feet from the walls.
All curves have a radius of at least one foot and at most three feet. The walls are 3 1/2
inches high and surround the course. The floor is white and made of either paper or
Dupont Tyvek®. Tyvek is a strong plastic used in mailing envelopes and house
construction.
Positions "S" and "F" are merely for illustration and are not precise locations. A
Competitor may place the robot anywhere in Area "A,” facing in any direction when
starting. The robot must be completely within Area "A.” Areas "A,” "B" and "C" are not
colored red on the actual course.
