November Mission Model Discussion: M07 - FOUNTAIN

Welcome to the November Mission Model Discussion! From now until just before Thanksgiving this space will feature ONE part of the FIRST LEGO League HYDRO DYNAMICS game challenge per day. The Robot Game is only 1/4th of the overall FIRST LEGO League challenge for teams this year! This post is meant to be an aid, not a replacement for carefully reading the Challenge Guide!
At the Beginning of the Match: The fountain model is secured to the mat in the designated area near the South wall. The Fountain is in the down position with the yellow lever up in the grey tub.
Required for Scoring: The Fountain's middle layer must raise some obvious height and stay there, due ONLY to a Big Water in the grey tub.
Conditions: A Big Water in the grey tub must cause the scoring action.
Score: 20 Points
Note from Oregon Head Referee Tom:  Scores at the end of the match if the middle layer has risen due only to a Big Water in the gray tub.

Real World Impact: Fountains historically were the primary source of water in a city. Naturally, they become the centerpiece of their local communities as people came to collect drinking water, water for cooking, and bathe. Fountains have had decorative elements for centuries. Now fountains are primarily spaces where people gather in their communities. Their primary purpose is decorative, as a meeting place, and a point of pride for the local community. Instead of gravity fed, most modern fountains are a part of the community water system.

Discussion: This mission is both close to Base and other missions. Is it on the list of missions you are completing? Are you able to combine this mission with another mission? If so, which one?
