November Mission Model Discussion: M15 - ALL SAMPLES

Manure Samples
Required for Scoring: At the end of the match ALL 7 Manure Samples are in the Training and Research Area
Conditions: Conditions for M09 Apply: Only 1 Manure Sample may be Transported at a time.
Score: 5pts (in addition to points earned in M09)

Note from Oregon Head Referee Tom: An official Rule Update says there are seven Manure Samples (not twelve).

Real World Impact: Some data is good, but a complete data set allows scientist to have an accurate consistent picture on what is happening in the world. Fecal samples are a treasure trove of information waiting to be understood. With consistently, delivered samples scientists can build a timeline for change in the health of an individual animal or an entire population. Having quality information can be rare in field research making this type of collection worth more than just points in the real world.

Discussion: Because each Manure Sample must be transported one at a time this mission can be time-consuming. What strategy is your team using to efficiently deliver the Samples to the Training and Research Area?
