Tasks
Robots will be required to perform a series of tasks related to the environment. In 2011, the tasks focused on water, resources, and energy generation.

Field
Robots must fit within a 12” by 12” by 16” area and may use three motors, two light sensors, two touch sensors, and one ultrasonic sensor. Shown here: 2009 field.

Robot
All robots must be made from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT Robot Kit. Your robot must fit within a 12” x 16” x 16” area called “Home”; each robot may use up to three motors, two light sensors, two touch sensors and one ultrasonic sensor, but no more. You may use other Lego® elements to construct your robot.

You may also use up to one sheet of letter-size white paper (8.5” x 11”), 4” x 4” of cardboard and four inches of either clear tape or masking tape measuring no more than 3/4” wide.
