Tales From The Slack: Points Update!

Dear @channel! I have just reviewed the Pi Wars At Home site for the first time since they updated the points.


There is a grand total of 9000 points up for grabs, 1500 per challenge.


This is what we need to do to get top points in every category:


1500 points on Feed the Fish:

  • Autonomous control

  • 3 rounds x 5 shots each = 15 shots in the upper bowl

  • 150 points for decoration of the fishbowl

  • 150 for Top Rank (rank bonus is given to best 12 robots, based on points + time + decoration)


1500 points on Tidy the Toys

  • Autonomous control

  • Stack the blocks = 1350 points

  • Don't bump the sides of the course (-40 per bump)

  • 150 for Top Rank (fastest)


1500 points on Up The Garden Path

  • Complete the course with Audio Only commands = 1350

  • 150 for Top Rank (fastest)


1500 points on Obstacle Course

  • Imaginative course = up to 100

  • Complex course = up to 200

  • Humour of the course = up to 300

  • Agility of Robot = up to 200

  • Autonomous accuracy and manoeuvrability of robot = up to 300

  • Complete course autonomously = +400


Things that aren't challenges but are worth a ton of points:
