Shocker MINDSTORMS Challenge

Rules and Information

Missions

Apprentice Missions are basic challenges designed for entry-level teams that are just getting started, or teams that need a little more practice before competing on the Professional Missions. NOTE: First-year teams DO NOT have to participate in the Beginner Levels. Beginner and Beginner II Level teams compete on the Apprentice Missions. Apprentice courses will be available on Trial Day, February 04, 2023, for teams to practice.

ALL Apprentice courses have multiple levels of scoring. Apprentice courses have a 3-minute time limit.

Professional Missions are different each year. Professional Missions are built by volunteers, primarily experienced team coaches. They undergo a rigorous review by professional engineers to ensure accuracy in measurements, drawings, and presentation. Intermediate and Expert Level teams compete on Professional Missions. These Missions will be posted to the website on December 03, 2022. Professional courses will be available on Trial Day, February 04, 2023, for teams to practice.

ALL missions have multiple levels of scoring. Unless otherwise designated, Professional courses have a 5-minute time limit.
