Logo Motion
Logomotion is the 2011 FIRST Robotics Competition game. 2011 is the 20th anniversary of the FRC. Playing pieces are inner tubes shaped like the components of the FIRST logo. In the endgame, robots deploy smaller robots ("minibots") to climb a tower. Those robots must be made from the FIRST Tech Challenge kit of parts.[1]
Schedule
- January 8 - Kickoff, beginning of build season
- February 22 - Robot ship date
Field
The playing field is 27-foot by 54-foot. The floor consists of gray S&S Mills Sequoia carpet. On each end of the field, there are scoring grids, immediately in front of the alliance stations, where the robots are remotely controlled by drivers. Each alliance station is protected by a wall, known as the alliance wall. There are openings in the alliance wall, called feeding slots, where an alliance member may enter playing pieces into play. There are towers in the middle of the field, with a cylindrical base.[1].
Playing pieces
- Ubertubes - a yellow, circular inner tube
- Minibot - an FTC robot
FIRST Logo
- Triangle - a red, triangular inner tube
- Circle - a white, circular inner tube
- Square - a blue, square inner tube[1]
Scoring
The following is a scoring chart for the ubertubes as they are hung on the end field walls, during the autonomous period.
| On bottom row | 2 Points |
| On middle row | 4 Points |
| On top row | 6 Points |
The following is a scoring chart for the game pieces as they are hung on the end field walls, during tele-operated mode (human remote controlled period). Also, if you have make the FIRST logo, the points you receive from the non-ubertubes is doubled.
| Logo Piece | Alone | Over UberTube |
|---|---|---|
| NOT Hanging | 0 Points | 0 Points |
| Hanging on Bottom Row | 1 Point | 2 Points |
| Hanging on Middle Row | 2 Points | 4 Points |
| Hanging on Top Row | 3 Points | 6 Points |
The following is a scoring chart for the mini-bot, a smaller FTC robot deployed during the end game period. The end game is a race between four mini bots to reach the top of tower pole on the field.
| 1st mini-bot to reach the top | 30 Points |
| 2nd mini-bot to reach the top | 20 Points |
| 3rd mini-bot to reach the top | 15 Points |
| 4th mini-bot to reach the top | 10 Points |
Based on the information above, the number of points an alliance may score is capped at 158.
