Compete

Now it is time to compete in the Treasure Hunt competition! In this timed trial competition, your robot will need to check the cubes on the Field, and collect both red Treasure Cubes to the Treasure Chest in the fastest time. Watch the video below to learn the process you can use to apply all the things you have previously learned to the Treasure Hunt competition.

Understanding the Rules

Treasure Hunt is a timed trial competition, where the goal is to have your robot autonomously drive along the Field, check all the cubes, and collect the red Treasure Cubes to the Treasure Chest in the fastest time.

You and your team can apply the engineering design process to your robot and your code to achieve the fastest time possible. 

View this animation to see one possible path your robot could take in a successful run of the Treasure Hunt competition.
