complete, the hospital will stop rotating. If even the smallest piece of your victim is inside a hospital door,then you will be awarded 15 pts. If the victim is completely inside the hospital door, then you will beawarded 25 pts. The landing pad is a hole in the middle of the hospital that is approximately 18 inches indiameter. If you can pick up and deliver the victim to the landing pad (including the volume of space abovethe pad), then you will be awarded 40 pts.

Tiebreaker.

In the case of a tie score, the followingtiebreakers will be applied in order until oneteam is declared victorious. 1) The teamthat scored the most points from rescuingthe victim. 2) The team that collected themost supplies. 3) Coin toss.

The methods of scoring are summarizedin Table 1.

2.5 GradingThe 15% of your grade that comes fromyour machine performance is divided intofive components, as shown in Table 2.

Individual Preliminary.

Devices that do not move or are disqualifiedscore -10 points per attempt. Devices thatscore the maximum value of 0 after 3 tries will get 1 grade point. Devices that score -30 (the worst possible),will get 0 points. All other scores come from a linear interpolation between -30 (0 grade pts) and 0 (1 gradept).

Individual Final.

Devices that do not move or are disqualified score -10 points per attempt. Only the 6 supply packets alongthe two sides of your zone will be in play. The sum of your three attempts will be ranked as a percentageof the scoring range in the entire class. The top scoring device will get 2 points. The lowest score will get 0points. All other scores come from a linear interpolation between these values.

Team Preliminary.

Devices that do not move or are disqualified score -10 points per attempt. The sum of your three attempts

* Teams should not gather in the Atrium or stairwell area on the 1st floor. The only teams allowed in the 1st floor Atrium are those competing or 'On Deck' waiting to compete in the next match.* Teams should wait for their turn to compete in the Auditorium or the lobbies on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. Viewing of contest rounds can be done from the 3rd and 4th floor catwalks.* The competition bracket will be displayed using the projector in the Auditorium. At this location, you may view the bracket as the contest progresses.* Keep the stairs clear for teams and guests traveling up and down.

Return to the Auditorium or upstairs once your round is complete

Design Review

•  Judged on: –  Ingenuity (Design Process and Creativity) –  Aesthetics (Machine, Poster, Team) –  Presentation (Technical Communication)

•  Judges include industry sponsors, faculty, and students

10

Judging

11

1.  State how many points you expect to score 2.  State what your machine is going to do, and

how reliably it completes objectives 3.  Show which subsystems obtain which

points 4.  Demonstrate a subsystem (maybe) 5.  Be ready to explain A) What’s clever, B)

What’s unreliable, C) Why you chose this design, D) How much did it cost

Poster Presentation Tips

•  Draw attention, capture, and close •  All team members should be able to present the

same overview of the design •  Think about how to best display your device •  Don’t waste too much time/space explaining the

contest

12

Posters and Design/Planning Tools

•  Don’t Show: –  Full HoQ –  Full Spec List –  Eval. Matrices –  Planning Tools

•  Maybe Show: –  Morph Chart –  Function Tree –  Important Design Requirements –  Critical Specs

13

Dressing Up (You and the Poster)

•  Have a theme •  You can dress up in costume, but keep it tasteful •  Look cohesive as a team •  Print posters using the Library Plotter

14

Painting Your Device

•  Use the Paint Trailer in the MRDC loading dock

Final Report

17

•  Final Report –  Less than 10 pages of text (1.5 spacing) –  Figures and Tables should be included at the end in

Appendices –  Include Table of Contents –  Use feedback from Preliminary Report

Describing Design Tools

18

•  Cite the tool. •  State how the tool has been used to

address the assigned task. •  Do NOT describe how the tool works. •  Present details by citing key entries/results

contained within the tool. •  State how the information in the tool was

used and what was gained from it.

Final Report – Suggested Outline

19

Cover Page Abstract Table of Contents I.  Introduction II.  Design Objectives III.  Design Overview IV.  Alternative Designs V.  Discussion VI.  Conclusions Figures and Tables

Abstract

20

•  State Problem or Need

•  Project Goals •  Project Results

–  Final Competition results –  Judging Results

•  What specifically is presented in the report

Introduction

21

•  Problem Definition –  State the main objectives (needs) –  What key constraints existed?

•  Engineering Challenges –  NOT the same as the rules or constraints –  NOT the same as the contest tasks

•  What is contained in the report – …“Section III describes the Rescue Robot

design.”…

Design Objectives

22

•  Describe: –  Problem Understanding Analysis –  Design Specifications –  Functional Decomposition

•  State and briefly justify your assumptions

Design Overview

23

•  Present the complete machine –  How many points are expected to be scored? –  What are the subsystems? –  Describe operation of the device (use a flowchart) –  Full system figures

•  Give overall dimensions •  Use multiple figures to describe function and

motion, e.g. before and after views •  Label subsystems

–  How much did the machine cost? (show Bill of Materials)

Subsystem Description

24

•  Subsections of Design Overview Section •  Divide descriptions up by subsystem

–  Give details of each subsystem •  What function or goal does this address? •  What are its features? •  How does it work?

–  Use “zoomed” figures or separate figures for each subsystem

•  Label critical dimensions

Alternative Designs

25

•  Describe at least three (3) concept alternatives –  1-2 Paragraphs –  1-2 Figures (before and after deployment, or

illustrate motion)

Discussion

26

•  Exists to justify system and analyze the results

•  HOW was the design selected? –  Why did you choose the one you did? (Concept Eval.)

•  WHAT were the results?

•  WHY did the device perform well (or poorly)? Analyze the results in light of the HOW.

Results (WHAT)

27

•  Present Numerical Results –  Judging –  Competition

•  How did this performance differ from the expected performance? –  What were the performance specifications? –  Justify the expected performance

•  Engineering analysis •  Tables of scores from prototyping trials

–  Identify differences between expectation and performance, and possible causes

Analysis (WHY)

28

•  Discuss in terms of the design process •  What assumptions were correct?… incorrect? •  What items were weighted too heavily?… too

lightly? •  Discussion of design strengths and weaknesses

–  Where and how did these manifest in your design process?

•  What would you change and/or improve on your design?

Conclusion

29

•  Outlines what was just presented in the report –  Should not introduce any new information

•  Include relevant numerical results –  Final Competition –  Judging

•  Make a CONCLUSION –  i.e. The design failed because… or the design

succeeded for these reasons…

Final Presentation

30

•  Less than 10 minutes (~10-11 slides) •  One speaker •  Clearly labeled figures •  Content is similar to final report •  Follow guidelines in Lectures from Dr. Donnell

Suggested Contents

31

•  Title Slide •  Problem Definition •  2-3 main design tools (the most important to

YOUR design process) •  Chosen Design (complete system) •  Chosen Design subsystems •  Alternative concepts •  Highest order evaluation matrix you used •  Results and Analysis

Remember Me’s

•  Your studio instructor determines your grade •  Test your device and competition prep. thoroughly •  Start your report and presentation now •  Ask your TA and instructor for advice!
