FLL 2020: How to accomplish the Equipment Bonus

To get the equipment bonus points, the robot and all its attachments have to fit in a small area next to the base. This includes any strategic accessories, and your Innovation Project.

The spaces each have a ceiling 12.0 in. (305 mm) high.

If it does not fit in the small area next to the base, it must fit in the large area next to it, as shown in the picture below, This however will NOT earn you the equipment bonus points.

If the robot and all its attachments do not fit in the large area, break the excess down or send it to the pit area.

Rules

• If all your equipment fits in the small inspection space: 25 points

Note:

When you get to each match, remove all your equipment from any containers and show the referee you can fit it all in the small inspection space. See Rule 09 for details.
