This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they solve M01 and M02 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge

Background

Solar panels in space are a great source of energy for a space station in the inner solar system, but since things in space are always moving, aiming the panels takes some thought.

Mission

Solar panels need to be angled toward or away from you, depending on strategy and conditions.

Scores

• Both solar panels are angled toward the same field: 22 (for both teams)

• Your solar panel is angled toward the other team’s field: 18

• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22, 40 as shown below and seen from above your north border, facing north.

“Your” solar panel is the one on your west end of the table.

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

Background

Incredible engineering accomplishments like space travel come about in steps. And many huge, progressive sub-goals need to be met before we can forever leave earth and live to tell about it!

Mission

The robot needs to send payload rockets (carts) rolling down the space travel ramp. The first cart is preset and ready to go, but the robot needs to load the other two from the base.

Scores

• Vehicle payload rolled down the space travel ramp: 22
• Supply payload rolled down the space travel ramp: 14
• Crew payload rolled down the space travel ramp: 10
• Possible scores: 0, 10, 14, 22, 24, 32, 36, 46

Scoring Requirements

• For each roll, the cart must be independent by the time it reaches the first track connection ramp. > Note: Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• Start each payload clearly rolling down the space travel ramp. > Note: Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• As a mission requirement in any mission, the word “independent” means “not in contact with any of your equipment. > As long as the cart clearly rolls independently past the first track connection, it’s okay if it doesn’t roll all the way east.
