1. The combination of the rockets elements is determined in the competition day before assembly time. In order to do this 6 cards with possible combinations are put in a non-transparent box (download cards). One of the card is taken for the box and it will determine the combination of the rocket elements which will be used in all rounds during this competition day.

 

2. Before the round starts (post-quarantine) the location of every rocket element on the playing field is determined. 3 cards with numbers representing the rocket parts in a rocket element are put in non-transparent box. The cards are taken one after another and a rocket element with the corrsponding number of parts is placed in the Warehouse areas starting from the left rear area (the next area is choosen by counter-clockwise). The rocket elemens are located as so their LEGO studs are in the TOP direction. The location of the elements will be fixed for all participants in the round. This method to determine the location of the elements will be made for every round during the competition day.

 

3. At the beginning of an attempt the Launch Facility can be placed in the Launch Table Area:

• The Launch Facility is a construction made of any parts of LEGO with maximum dimensions 250x250x250 mm in initial state. The Launch Facility is allowed to change its size after the attempt starts. The construction must not contain RCX, NXT and EV3 brick - each team is only allowed to use one brick (RCX, NXT or EV3) per pair of robot and Launch Facility in all attempts. The Launch Facility is allowed to be built with usage electronical LEGO components listed in general rules (3.10) only.

4. Multiple programs in the robot are allowed. For scoring rounds, the participants are only allowed to choose a program and press the enter button to run it. Participants are not allowed to make any additional input or setting to the chosen program.
5. The time to set up the Launch Facility in the Launch Table Area is limited by 30 seconds. 
6. The Launch facility that is set up in the Launch Table Area must be completely in the Launch Table Area (grey square area 455 x 250 mm). The Launch Facility is measured to correspond the size requirements and a signal to start is made. If the size requirements are not satisfied a judge makes a decision to assing additional time to fix the issue or their attempt is scheduled after all other teams attempts as so the team has a time to address the requirement.
7. The robot begins in the Base area (green zone) and finishes in the Safe Area.
8. The robot must start within the Base area. The robot must be placed completely in the Base area.
9. The robot is not limited by moving along the black line.
10. All Rocket Elements must be placed in the Assembly Area. The Ramp surface is considered as the part of the Assembly Area. 
11. The assembled Rocket must be placed verticaly over the Ramp in the Launch Table Area. The Rocket elements must be assembled in the correct order.
12. A judge will check verticality of the Rocket by using a steel wand (a pin or a needle) 350 mm long, 3-5 mm in diameter. A mark in 250 mm on the wand allows to determine the height of the Rocket.
13. The Rocket is considered to be in vertical position if the wand can be stuck into the Rocket as so:

• both ends of the wand are in the Rocket projection.
• the mark on the wand is below of the highest part of the Rocket.

14. The order of the Rocket Elements is correct if:

• Colors of the Rocket Parts are in the same order as colors on the Russion Federation Flag
• The Rocket Parts are placed as so the LEGO studs are in the up direction.
• Every Rocket Element touches the next Rocket Element in one point at least
  (It is allowed that the very low Rocket Element does not touch the Ramp area)​
  (The order of the elements is correct on every picture above)

15. The Rocket must stay vertically on the Ramp more than 30 seconds after the attempt ends or till that time when the judges check its verticality. 
16. Civilians placed in the green circles of the Civilian Areas need to be moved to the Safe Area.
17. The attempt will end and time will stop if:

• The robot enters to the Base area (it is enough to be in the zone).
• Any team member touches any object on the field or the robot after the attempt starts.
• Challenge time (2 minutes) has ended. 
• Participant call for "Stop" of the match. 
• Violation of the rules and regulations herein.

Scoring

1. Score will only be calculated at the end of the challenge or when time stops-the exception is scoring for placing all the Rocket elements in the Assembly Area.
2. A Rocket Element is completley outside of a Warehouse Area (not in the zone) = 5 points per element (15 points max). 
3. There is a moment during the attempt when all Rocket Elements touch the Assembly Area (in the zone) at the same time = 20 points.
4. At least one Rocket Element is situated on the Ramp (the projection of the element is completely in the Ramp area) = 10 points.
5. All Rocket Elements are placed vertically over the Ramp in a Launch Table Area = 15 points.
6. All Rocket Elements are placed vertically and in the correct order over the Ramp in the Launch Table Area = 15 points. 
7. Each civilian completely moved to the Safe Area 5 points per civilian (15 point max).
8. The robot finishes in the Safe Area = 10 points. 
9. Maximum score = 100 points.

Table Specifications

1. Horizontal Dimensions: 2370 mm × 1150 mm.
   (download the mat in .ai)
   
2. A wall that is 16 mm in width surrounds the table. The height of the wall is 50 mm.
3. The table base color is white. 
4. The width of black and red lines in the playing field area is 20 mm ± 1 mm. 
5. The dimensions of the barrier delimiting the Safe Area from the main playing field area are 530 mm x 50 mm x 16 mm.
