Important information for reading this document:•These game rules are made for local and national competitions.

•National Organizers in WRO countries are allowed to simplify the missions.

•

For the International Final, one extra mission will be released on October 8th 2024.
The extra challenge will work with the same game mat and brick set. It is notmandatory to do this extra mission to participate in the event.

•Because of possible surprise rules and the extra mission for the International Final,
the game field may contain areas and markings that are not used at local or nationalevents.

•For greater clarity, the robot missions are explained in multiple sections. But theteams can decide which missions they will do and which order.

•The game missions have easy and more complicated tasks. This makes thecompetition suitable for beginning and more experience teams. It is not necessary tosolve all missions to enjoy a WRO participation.

•General information on game table setup and fixing of game objects on the field you
find in the WRO RoboMission General Rules, chapter 6.

We wish everyone much success and a lot of fun with our WRO 2024 challenges!

1. Introduction
The people in this village have decided that they want to grow their own food. They want toprotect the nature and eat vegetables and fruit without pesticides. They have a shared farm in
the village so they can all have healthy fruit and vegetables. They also have some chickens at
the farm, so they have fresh eggs. The problem is that they all have busy lives. So they decided
to find a robot that helps them with the farm.
Can your robot help the people in the village checking on the vegetables, collecting
them and watering the garden?

2. Game Field
The following graphic shows the game field with the different areas.

If the table is larger than the game mat, place the mat against the wall with the sides of thegarden area (water tower etc.) and the start area section.

Vegetables are at different places on the game field (top-right corner, bottom-right corner andin the greenhouses) and the robot should identify the different statuses of the vegetable. It is
the task of the robot to bring:§The red (ripe) vegetables to the market area (red).

§The yellow (rotten) vegetables to the compost area (brown).

The following table shows the scoring of this task and the photos show scoring situations thatapply for both the red and the yellow vegetable. Please note for this task:§The market area is the red area on the top-middle of the game field(without any other lines or design elements around).

Two waterelements can be released from the water tower, one water element is always in thestart area. Full points are awarded if the water elements are in the correct areas.

§To push the earth blocks outside of the green areas to prepare this area for farming
soon. Points are awarded if the earth blocks are completely outside and not touching
any green area.

The following table shows the scoring of this task and the photos show different scoring
situations for this task. Please note for this task:§The green area is the dark green square, not including any other design elements
around that are green as well.
EachMax.

vegetable and the green vegetable is still touching the green
square as well (max. one water element per green square counts)
