Ring Leader: Lesson 3 – Challenge

Which of the following is TRUE about the setup of the Coding Crunch Challenge?

• The robot starts with one ring preloaded in the claw.

• Four rings go against the walls on one side of the Field.

• A small post is attached to the center tile on one side of the Field.

• Two robots should be placed facing each other to start the challenge.

The goal of the Coding Crunch Challenge is:

• To create a VEXcode EXP project that codes your robot to grab and score both rings on the small post in the fastest time

• To create a VEXcode EXP project that codes your robot to stack all 4 Buckyballs behind the small post.

• To create a VEXcode EXP project that removes one ring from the Field.

• To create a VEXcode EXP project that removes all five rings from the Field as quickly as possible.

How many rings should be placed on the Field when setting up the Coding Crunch Challenge?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 6

Which of the following describes how to time a Coding Crunch run?

• The timer begins as soon as the Field is set up, and stops when the first ring is scored.

• Start the timer after calibration, once the VEXcode EXP project starts, and stop the project once when the second ring is scored, or the max time of two minutes is reached, or use the {When timer} block.

• The timer begins when the robot scores the first ring, and stops when the second ring is scored.

• The timer begins when the project starts, and stops at three minutes.

Which of the following is true about the Coding Crunch Challenge?

• If a ring falls out of the Field, it cannot be scored.

• If a ring falls out of the Field, hand-place it back in its starting location, without touching the

  robot. The timer does not stop.

• If a ring falls out of the Field, the timer is stopped and it is placed in the robot starting location.

• If a ring falls out of the Field, the timer is stopped and it is hand placed in its starting location.

How is a ring scored in the Coding Crunch Challenge?

• Rings are scored when they are stacked in the holding area on the Field.

• Rings can be scored two different ways: by stacking them in the robot starting location or

  stacking them on the post.

• Rings must be completely around the post, to count as ‘scored.’ Rings are not scored if they are

  hanging from the post or still touching the robot.

• Rings are scored when they are completely removed from the Field and not touching the robot.
