1 Eastern Virginia Qualifying Tournament Norfolk State University Norfolk, Virginia Satruday, January 14 th, 2012
2 to create a world where science and technology are celebrated where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes. Dean Kamen Founder, FIRST About FIRST FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people s interest and participation in science and technology. Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, FIRST is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity. As a volunteer-driven organization, FIRST is built on partnerships with individuals, as well as businesses, educational institutions, and government. Some of the world s most respected companies provide funding, mentorship time and talent, and equipment to make FIRST s mission a reality. As a team coach, there are over 80,000 committed and effective volunteers who are key to introducing more than 200,000 young people to the joy of problem solving through engineering. FIRST provides four programs: the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) for grades 9-12, FIRST LEGO League (FLL) for 9 to 14 year-olds, and Junior FIRST LEGO League for 6 to 9 year-olds. Also located at FIRST headquarters is the research and development facility called FIRST Place. FIRST Place is integral to game design, new program development, evaluation, and professional development of FIRST mentors and teachers. We want to change the culture by celebrating the mind. We need to show kids that it s more fun to design and create a video game than it is to play one. Dean Kamen, Founder, FIRST Dean Kamen is President of DEKA Research & Development Corporation, a dynamic company focused on the development of revolutionary new technologies that span a diverse set of applications. As an inventor, physicist, and entrepreneur, Dean has dedicated his life to developing technologies that help people lead better lives. Dean s proudest accomplishment is founding FIRST. GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM, A FIRST CREDO Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST National Advisor, asks and provides his view regarding the question, Why do FIRST folks talk so much about that phrase? Obviously it would not make sense to endorse asinine professionalism or gracious incompetence. It is, however, completely consistent with the FIRST spirit to encourage doing high quality well informed work in a manner that leaves everyone feeling valued. Gracious professionalism seems to be a good descriptor for part of the ethos of FIRST. It is part of what makes FIRST different and wonderful. Gracious professionalism has purposefully been left somewhat undefined because it can and should mean different things to each of us. We can, however, outline some of its possible meanings. Gracious attitudes and behaviors are win-win. Gracious folks respect others and let that respect show in their action. Professionals possess special knowledge and are trusted by society to use that knowledge responsibly. Thus, gracious professionals make a valued contribution in a manner pleasing to others and to themselves. In FIRST, one of the most straightforward interpretations of gracious professionalism is that we learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process. We try to avoid leaving anyone feeling like they are losers. No chest thumping barbarian tough talk, but no sticky sweet platitudes either. Knowledge, pride and empathy comfortably blend. To understand that gracious professionalism works is not rocket science. It is, however, missing in too many activities. At FIRST it is alive and well. Please help us take care of it. In the long run, gracious professionalism is part of pursuing a meaningful life. If one becomes a professional, and uses knowledge in a gracious manner, everyone wins. One can add to society and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you have acted with integrity and sensitivity. That s good stuff! *May include 8th grade students 13 and older who are prepared to enter a high-school program.
3 Grades K-3 (ages 6 to 9) Grades 4-8 (ages 9 to 14) Grades 9-12 (ages 14 to 18) About FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) FTC is a mid-level robotics competition for high school students that offers the traditional challenge of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) but with a more accessible and affordable robotics kit. Teams of up to 10 students are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The ultimate goal of FTC is to reach more young people with a lower-cost, more accessible opportunity to discover the excitement and rewards of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Its mission is to provide communities with tools and games that challenge young people while cultivating in them an interest in science and technology. Key Factors that make FIRST Tech Challenge a Success Entices kids to think like scientists and engineers Provides a fun, creative, hands-on learning experience Teaches kids to experiment and overcome obstacles The skills that they learn makes math and science tangible, accessible and real The Tetrix robot kit is reusable and is programmed using a variety of languages Teams learn to document their design ideas and discoveries Builds self-esteem and confidence
4 Game Description Use your Smart Phone to scan this! The Game: Bowled Over! is played on a 12 x12 diamond shaped field as shown on the diagram above. Two alliances one red and one blue composed of two teams each compete in matches consisting of a 30 second autonomous period followed by a two-minute driver controlled period. The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent s alliance by placing racquet balls into crates and then stacking the crates. Teams will be challenged to complete tasks during autonomous and driver controlled periods and will score special racquetballs and six pound bowling balls for additional points. The Details: There are a total of 100 racquetballs available to both teams as scoring objects in the game. The field also holds 12 stackable Ball Crates that teams can fill with racquetballs and stack for additional points, and two bowling balls that can be scored during the autonomous or end game period for additional points. The field includes two home zones comprised of a platform and a ramp, and two protected zones where a team may stack their crates without fear of having them toppled by their opponents. End Game: The final thirty (30) seconds of the Driver Controlled Period is called the End Game. Each Alliance is challenged to push their Bowling Ball onto their Home Zone or to elevate stacks of Ball Crates to score additional points based on the height of the Ball Crates. Autonomous Period Scoring: Upright Ball Crate Parking a Robot In Back parking zone Parking a Bowling Ball In Back Parking Zone Parking a Robot In Front Parking Zone Parking a Bowling Ball in Front Parking Zone 5 points each 5 points 20 points 10 points 10 points Match Scoring: Regular or Magnet Ball in Low Goal 1 point each Regular or Magnet Ball in Ball Crate 2 points each Magnet Ball in Off Field Goal 25 points each Crates Stacked are awarded 10 points above Based on the highest point of 10.5, then 10 each crate in the stack more points for (for a crate to count it must each 6 above contain at least one ball) that

A team s alliance partner in one match may be their opponent in the next match. Team Rank: Teams will be ranked from first through last on the basis of their total Qualifying Points (QPs). If multiple teams have the same QP total, then teams will be ranked on the basis of their Ranking Points (RPs). If multiple teams have the same RP total as well, then teams will be ranked on the basis of their highest match score. If still tied, the next highest match score will be used until the tie is broken. Qualifying Points: Teams receive 2 points for a Win and 1 point for a Tie and 0 points for a loss or disqualification (DQ). Ranking Points: All teams receive the score of the losing alliance unless they have a DQ (which gives the team 0 RP). Alliance selection is held after all of the qualifying matches. Four alliance captains are selected based on team rank. These captains then pick 2 additional teams to be their alliance partners for the Elimination Matches. Elimination Matches: Alliances get a win, loss or tie. The advancing alliance is the first one to win two matches.
