Description

An astronaut’s life support unit is signaling they have sustained a grave injury. Rovers are tasked with locating the astronaut, determining if they are still alive and returning them to the med bay for evaluation. Rovers also need to survey the incident area and collect evidence before it is destroyed by the solar storm. Based on the evidence, teams will determine the primary suspect.

Requirements

  1. Prior to disturbing the scene, take a photo of the incident site, including any evidence close to the astronaut.
  2. Determine the status of the astronaut by reading the life status indicator on their chest.
    1. The life status indicator will be an LED indicator, where Green is healthy and Red is dead.
  3. Return the astronaut to the marked medical bay by the base station
    1. For full points, the astronaut must be returned without sustaining additional injury. This will be determined using a G-force indicator.
  4. There are several pieces of evidence scattered around the incident site, photograph and scan them for “DNA” label
    1. “DNA” labels are identified using AruCo markers.
    2. Full points for scanning will be awarded if the Aruco scanning and detection software is running in the background and automatically displays the correct result when the Aruco marker comes within range and frame of the camera.
    3. Details on AruCo markers are listed in the Autonomy Guidelines
  5. Return the murder weapon to the med bay
    1. For full points, rovers will need to carry the murder weapon, in order to not contaminate the evidence. Dragging will earn partial points
  6. After scanning the evidence, make an initial conclusion on who the primary suspect is on the provided worksheet. Reference DNA samples of on-base staff will be provided to teams.
  7. Any photos and the worksheet must be submitted to the judges prior to the end of teams tear down time/ the leaving of the site, whichever comes first. Team will need to provide a labeled USB for submission of materials.
