The Final Challenges

These are the last two challenges:

Molecular Motor
Mission: Deliver an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule to power a molecular motor, causing it to spin and release energy. The robot must deliver 1 of the 2 ATP molecules through the molecular motor’s black frame for 40 points (even if nothing else happens). The second ATP molecule represents a second chance to complete this mission, but points are only given for 1 delivered molecule.

Space Elevator
Mission: Operate the space elevator. At least one robot must cause the car with the yellow cargo to come down. If this mission is completed, no matter which robot or robots worked on it, both teams get 40 points.

In addition to the points from doing seperate missions a team will get 20 points for completing 3 missions if they are using the RCX system or 6 missions if they are using NXT system.

This is what the complete board looks like:

Overall I think this year's challenge will be harder than last year's challenge and require much more thinking outside of the box. However if we all put our minds together we can acomplish many things and have a succesful year in Lego Robotics Talent class.
