We are not able to provide exact scores on the Q&A based on scenarios. Please refer to the competition manual to calculate the score.

The intent of rule <AM9> is to prevent teams from programming their drone to fly back and forth or around and around the same obstacle. Therefore based on your scenario you would earn

Identify Color Mat - 15 points Take off - 10 points Under Arch - 5 points Through Keyhole Gate - 10 points Under Arch - 5 points Through Keyhole Gate -10 points Under Arch - 5 points Repeat this pattern It is also acceptable to complete both:

<AM3> and <AM4> on the same element before moving on to another field element

<AM5> and <AM6> on the same element before moving on to another field element

You may return to complete <AM3> and <AM4> and/or <AM5> and <AM6> again, once you have completed a task on a different field element.
