This post is meant to be an aid, not a replacement for carefully reading the Challenge Guide and Updates!
At the Beginning of the Match
The Extraction model is secured to the Core Site, next to the Crater Crossing, on the mat with the axle pointing East. The core samples are placed on the axle from West to East; Regolith (dark grey), Gas Core (white), Water (blue), and Regolith (dark grey). Each core sample has its studs facing East while on the Extraction model axle.
Required for Scoring
This mission has multiple options for scoring and thanks to the update the first option does NOT need to be met to score the other options.
- You may move all of the Core Samples so they no longer touching the axle in the Core Site/Extraction Model.
- You may score the Gas Sample by either placing it so it is touching the mat and completely in the Lander's Target Circle in the Northeast corner of the mat OR place the Gas Core Sample completely in Base.
- You may score the Water Core Sample so it is supported only by the Food Growth Chamber model.
Update
Core Samples can be used to earn points as described in Missions M03 and M05 even if the Core Site Model’s axle is not completely empty. This means additional possible scores related to the Core Samples include: 8, 10, 12, 18, and 20.

Note from Oregon Head Referee Tom
Real World Impact
Not only does being able to mine materials provide a resource for 3D printing as was discussed in M03, but it also can be a source of basic supplies and economic opportunity. Being able to locate and collect mineral deposits, water, and components of breathable air enhances the human ability to travel in space and beyond. Both returning minerals to Earth to build new craft for exploration and using materials on space stations, spacecraft, and to colonize other planets.
Discussion
This mission is very close to Base which makes navigation to access the model easier. It is also close to several other missions which can be paired with it to improve the efficiency of your robot. However, getting all of the Core Samples off the axle can be tricky. Does your team simply remove the Core Samples from the axle? Do they try to collect the Regolith, Gas and Water Core Samples to use for additional scoring? Does having a Core Sample on the mat mess up your robot in a future run? What is your team's thoughts?
