Goal: The robot begins at one end of the line with the front of the robot one foot from the edge of the board. After a three second delay the robot line follows to the other end of the line. The robot may only leave the line during the long straight-away that the soda can is on. At the end of the challenge some part of the soda can must remain in the circle in the center of the board. The soda can may be turned or flipped. The robot that completes the challenge in the shortest time wins.

Robot:
• Autonomous
• 3-second delay
• 1-foot cube max starting size
• 15lb weight limit
• Build with any safe materials

Playing field: 4-foot by 8-foot white board. The line is marked with ¾ inch electrical tape. There is no break in the line. A circle drawn in pencil marks the placement of the can.

Playing pieces: one empty soda can
