CRC
The CRC competition is a multidisciplinary competition combining arts and languages with science. It includes several components: the manufacture of a kiosk, the design of a website, the production of an original video without forgetting the construction and programming of a robot that is the central element of competition. The latter therefore gives experience to young people like us in diversified skills and allows us to surpass ourselves by taking on several challenges.
Our mission
This year’s Flip 2020 game allows us to gather the necessary cement to rebuild Shuri’s laboratory. But, what is this game, exactly? The goal is very simple. At the end of each game, we must have accumulated as many bags of cement as possible, worth 20 points in our tank. The only problem is that the robot has no right to come into contact with the tank at any time. He cannot, therefore, do this. The pockets are conveyed by a conveyor, a conveyor belt carrying at its ends which rolls for 40 seconds from one tank to the other during a period of 30 seconds. However, there are several other constructions that allow the tank to assemble a maximum of pocket. MANY CONSTRUCTIONS.

First, to start the game, the robots will start at the end of the arena and will have to run to the end to press on the hinged plate. The first arrival will allow the conveyor to roll in the direction of its tank. Then, in a corner of the arena, we have the demolition ball that increases the pace of the cement pocket on the conveyor. Next, in the middle of the game, is the tornado which stops the conveyor for a certain period of time. The mushroom located on the side of the ground, double the speed of the conveyor without forgetting the articulated plate from the start which can be reused a second time to change the direction of the roller. Finally, to conclude, we have the choice of the last bonus: a black piece which has a value of 200 points, a decrease in the frequency which consists of dropping bags or a reduction in the speed of the conveyor.
Our roles in the competition:
Robot:
Our mandate, which is the turning point of the competition, is to build and program a robot in order to win the game of this year, Flip 2020.
Kiosk:
Our mission is to build a grand and aesthetic kiosk using paint, lights, wood and we pass, to house the robot and create a benchmark for the general public during the competition.
Video:
Our task is to make a video of about ten minutes on the competition by explaining it in an innovative way by using techniques of media arts.
Web Site:
Our primary goal is to create an original and interesting website that will inform the public about the competition, our great team and our experience with an extraordinary content revolving around an exciting theme.
3D Design:
Our duty is to realize and animate, from pre-existing structure and system, 3D drawings thanks to the computer software Inventor.
I have a suprise for you!
