| Panda Release Model |
Required for Scoring: At the END OF THE MATCH, the slider looks fully open clockwise.
Conditions: NONE
Score: 10pts
The challenge here is for the robot to release the pandas, by sliding one-half of the model in a clockwise fashion without damaging the model. This model is very flat to the mat.
Real World Impact: Pandas are solitary animals rarely coming into contact with one another in the wild. Their population significantly benefits from breeding programs, especially those outside Chengdu in Sichuan Province, China. Pandas are not the only species to be helped in this way. Just a few decades ago the California Condor was brought back from 9 individuals, all of which were brought into captivity to a wild population of 248 individuals last year, (over 400 if you count captive birds). While in captivity in addition to health monitoring and breeding programs animals can have a profound educational impact on the people who share a community with them.
Discussion: This model is very fragile, how does your team keep their robot from damaging it during missions?
