Innovative Design
Needs Improvement
Design, drive train, and structure are standard. Manipulators/sensors used in expected ways, if used. Strategy for combining missions expected. Programming written as expected.
Fair
Design creative, unique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coordinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 1 of the 4 above is demonstrated)
Good
Design creative, uique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coodinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 2 of the 4 above are demonstrated)
Excellent
Design creative, unique use of drive train or structure. Manipulators/sensors used in unexpected ways, if used. Unique/creative strategy for coodinating missions. Programming tasks used in unexpected ways. (For this category, 1 done exceptionally or 3 of the 4 above demonstrated.)
Strategy, Process, Problem-Solving
Needs Improvement
Uses standard design. No design process (from initial concept through build, test, refinement) communicated. Strategy based only on ease of task - did not maximize time, combine mission tasks or consider points.
Fair
Some forethought in initial design. Refinement of robot and programs not communicated. Strategy often based on ease of task -few risks taken. Some consideration of time, mission combinations or maximizing points.
Good
Basic understanding of design process, evidence of conceptual planning, building, testing, refining of robot, manipulators, programs. Effective strategic planning, combining mission tasks, plotting routes, using manipulators and/or program slots.
Excellent
Communicates complete design process, from initial concept through build, test, and refinement. Excellent/innovative strategy, combining mission tasks, plotting routes, maximizing points.
Locomotion & Navigation
Needs Improvement
Difficulty going same distance on repeated missions. Too fast for accuracy, or too slow to accomplish mission. Turns inaccurate or inconsistent. Moves between tow points inconsistently. No effort to know position on table beyond distance and accurate turns.
Fair
Goes defined distances sometimes. Turns sometimes accurate. Sometimes moves between tow points consistently. Little or no effort to know position on table beyond distance and accurate turns.
Good
Goes defined distances most of the time. Not too fast for accuracy or too slow to accomplish mission. Turns reasonabley accurate and consistent. Allows for variables. Moves between two points with reasonable accuracy and consistency. May use various sensors.
Excellent
Goes defined distances efficiently. Adjusts speed, position sensing for optimum speed and accuracy. Turns accurately and consistently. Allows for variables (battery wear, obstacles). Moves between tow points with very good accuracy and consistency. May use various sensors.
Programming
Needs Improvement
Programs disorganized Programs inefficient Resuls unpredictable Sensors inadequately used. Programs do not accomplish expected tasks. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions defined but unused. Children can't describe what run will do.
Fair
Programs somewhat organized Programs efficient at completing some tasks. Results somewhat unpredictable Programs do some of what is expected Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, not understood.
Good
Programs organized. Programs efficient at completing most tasks. Programs do what they're expected to do. Sensors used effectively, if used. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, are needed. Kids can describe most of mission.
Excellent
Programs logically organized. Programs very efficient. Programs always work, even for complex tasks. Sensors, if used, guarantee certain actions in every trial. Programs work in competition as in practice. Variables, loops, subroutines and conditions, if used, are effective. Children can describe mission and reference the program.
Kids Did the Work
Needs Improvement
Little knowledge of why some parts are located as they are on the robot. Little or no understanding of what pieces did. Building/programming appears primarily done by coach.
Fair
Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows minimal understanding of underlying design, science, and technology (age specific expectations). Building and programming seems primarily directed by coach.
Good
Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows moderate understanding of underlying desing, science, and technology (ae specific expectations). Building/programming mostly directed by team members, with help from coach.
Excellent
Knowledge of robot structure and programming shows thorough understanding of underlying design, science, and technology (age specific expectations). Building/programming was done by team memebers.
Structural
Needs Improvement
Difficulty with robot assembly during demo. Base weak, falls apart when handled or run. Attachments, if used, weak and fall apart often; difficulty completing task; or overly complex. Robot design from book, little modification by team.
Fair
Robot assembly done with few errors. Robot base structure has some stabliity. Attachments, if used, difficult to apply; and /or not modular; not precise or not repeatable. Robot show signs of team's design ideas.
Good
Slow robot assembly, with no errors Robot base stable, but not robust. Attachments, if used, modular; function most of the time; and/or take some time to assemble; somewhat precese and /or repeatable. Robot designed by team.
Excellent
Robot assembles easily. Robot base stable and robust. Attachments, if used, modular, function as expected and easily added/removed from robot. Robot displays wide range of capabilities. Attachments, if used, performtasks extremely well and are repeatable. Robot designed by team; design is unique and creative.
Overall Design
Needs Improvement
Robot lacks most critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use, attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Few components work together; few components look like they belong together.
Fair
Robot lacks many critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use, attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Some components work together; some components look like they belong together.
Good
Robot lacks some critical design components: works, stays together, efficient parts use attachments easy to add/remove, simpler than comparable robots. Most components work together; most compenents look like they belong together.
Excellent
Robot is elegant, complete system. All components work well together. All components look like they belong together.
