5.1 Judging Criterion

Scoring System

1. The task is considered to be completed when all the three blocks are deposited in the respective zones and the maze solving bot returns to its starting point or the time for the task reaches 6 minutes.
2. Whenever a block crosses the check-line 2 for the 1st time it will be awarded 10 points. If the teams use a manual bot to transport blocks from the grid to the maze and the transported block crosses check line 1, 15 extra points will be given for each block transported. Note - Teams which are not using a manual bot for transporting the block from the grid to maze, won't be awarded any extra points.
3. Teams will be awarded 50 points each for completing the first and the second checkpoint.
4. The teams will be awarded 50 points for depositing the third block and an extra 100 points for returning to its stating point after depositing the 3rd block.
5. The timer will stop as soon as the task is considered to be completed.
6. Every time the bot crosses a node it incurs a penalty of 25 points.

The team's score will be equal to:
Score = (360-T) + 50*C + 50*B + 100*F + W - P
T = the total time taken to complete the task in seconds or T equals 360 if the team is unable to complete the entire task in 6 minutes.
C=Number of checkpoints cleared
B = 1 if the teams deposits the third block
0 otherwise
F = 1 if the maze solving autonomous bot returns back to its starting point after depositing the 3rd block
0 otherwise
P =Penalty
W = Points collected when the block crosses the check line 2 and the points collected on account of using the manual bot.
