Scoring Guidance – Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Challenge (RGMC)– Manufacturing Track

The following images provide scoring guidance for the RGMC competition. Not every part in the competition is 

presented but the rules for scoring each type of subtask (insertion, threading, routing etc.) are described. This 

guidance should be used for similar parts that require the same assembly operations to perform.

Threaded Fasteners:

 Cross threaded screw Threaded – can be Not fully threaded – can Fully successful fastener

cannot advance thread advanced by hand insert washer under head operation. Washer cannot be 

by hand (no points) (2 points) (2 points) inserted under head. (3 points)

Note: In all four cases above, cross threading and destruction of threads receives no points. Judges check this by 

screwing/unscrewing fastener with ease.

Wire routing:

Points accessed per wire.

Neither wire routed through any channels. Both wires routed through both corner posts but not through the elastic retainer.

(0 points) (6+6+6+6 = 24 points)

Both wires routed through one corner post Both wires routed through all posts and retainers. 

and through the elastic retainer. (24 points) (36 points).
Pin insertion:

A different connector is used for task board

Wire pin inserted into connector Inserted and fully seated. Cannot be removed with a tug.

(3 points) (5 points)

Belt Threading and Tensioning:

Threaded on one pulley only (14 points) Fully threaded (28 points) 

Fully threaded and tensioned (42 points) 
AT-02 Connector:

Insertion into mating counterpart Insertion into mating counterpart

but no snap fit of locking mechanism and snap fit of locking mechanism

(3 points) (5 points)

Ethernet Connector:

 Insertion into mating counter part Insertion into mating counterpart

but no snap fit of locking mechanism and snap fit of locking mechanism

(3 points) (5 points)

BNC Connector:

 Insertion only Insertion only Insertion, partial Insertion and full lock

(3 points) (3 points) (3 points) (5 points)
Pegs:

 All edges not below task board All edges below (a) (b)

top surface (0 points) task board top Full insertion with peg seated on surface

 surface (3 points) that supports the task board (5 points)

 All edges below task board Full insertion with peg seated on surface

Top surface (3 points) that supports the task board (5 points)

Gears:

 Inserted but not Small gear inserted and seated Both gears inserted and fully seated

Seated on task board for (5 points). Large gear inserted (5 points) for each.

(3 points) but not seated (3 points)
