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 model is secured to the mat with the plunger set to the South aligned with it's mark on the mat. The lock is set loose over the LEGO brick that forms the locking mechanism.
Required for Scoring: The Filter plunger (yellow part) is moved North so that the Lock Latch drops into the lock position (as seen in the blog image)
Conditions: NONE
Score: 30 points
Note from Oregon Head Referee Tom: Scores at the end of the match if the lock latch has dropped.
Real World Impact: Water, even rain water, can contain contaminants that are harmful for human use, industrial application, and medical applications. Water filtration removes these problems from water coming into the system, or from water that has been used. Many companies are required to clean water to a certain level before it leaves their system. This helps keep all water safe for society. There are many types of filters that removes all kinds of contaminants.
Discussion: The plunger must be pressed in enough to make the Lock Latch drop. There is no mark on the mat to tell you this has been achieved. How do you make sure your robot does not fall short of the goal?
