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 forces of nature are powerful and unpredictable. We need to be prepared for the possibilityof major disasters in many places in the world where people live. We need to develop newtechnologies and strategies to help us mitigate the effects of these disasters and to rebuild ourcommunities after they occur.
Robots are an example of one of these new technologies. They can help to warn us in advancefor a coming disaster. They can also help us to prevent excess damage from and to help withrescues and rebuilding after a disaster has hit.
On the Senior game field, the robot will help restoring a city after a natural disaster. The
robot will rebuild houses, clean the streets from debris and will repair water pipes.

4. Robot Missions
4.1 Rebuild houses
The robot should help rebuilding houses after an earthquake in the city:-

4 houses – one in each colour (red, yellow, green, blue) – should be built in the different
coloured areas on the field (e.g. red house in red area).

-

Every house can have two floors. Maximum points are awarded if all two houses arebuilt with 4 house elements of the colour matching the colour of the area below.

For the scoring of the house elements please note the following:-

The lowest element (floor 1) must always be completely inside a coloured house area
and the colour of the lowest floor element must match the colour of the area, otherwise
no points are awarded for the entire house. Completely means that the game object isonly touching the coloured area.

-If the lowest level (floor 1) element is only partly inside the colored house area, theobtained score is half of that.

-

All house elements must always be stacked with the studs facing upwards. Houseelements cannot be upside down or on the side.

-

House elements stacked on the 1st element can only be supported by the element
below it. They cannot be supported by anything else, like the floor or another element.

-Only one house per coloured area counts. If there are two houses in an area that could
score points, then the house with the most points will be scored.

The following table shows the scoring of this task and the photos show scoring situations that
apply for all kind of coloured houses.
