基本信息

This event is Invitational Only. Once a team has a scored submission for Phase 1, that team will receive an invitation to register for this event. 

Because the Factory Automation Competition is classroom-based competition, the REC Foundation has created a ranking
system to allow teams to compete against themselves as well as other organizations. Teams will video record
a Production Run with an explanation of the processes and how they function to achieve each Competition
Phase. In order to be ranked globally, Teams must upload a video submission of their Production Run to
Robotevents.com.

Global Ranking
T1: Teams must complete and submit phases sequentially.
Teams must complete each phase in sequence, starting with Competition Phase 1. To advance to the next
phase, teams must successfully perform the specific tasks outlined in Section 2 for the current phase, submit a
production run, and receive score verification. Only after these steps are completed can a team become eligible
to move on to the next Competition Phase with:

T2: Teams are ranked within each Competition Phase based on the number of points scored.

T3: Team ranking tie breakers are determined as outlined below.
a. Total Points Scored
b. Total Throughput of Completed Orders
c. Run Time for Competition Phase 3

Video Parameters
V1: The Production Run video must be no longer than 5-minutes (5:00) in length, including credits. (Credits are
not required).

V2: The video may be your team speaking, a voice-over storyboard, a voice-over PowerPoint, or any other
video format of your choosing.

V3: Students must be the ones who research, design, write, edit, film, and produce the video. Mentors should
have a very limited role in giving direction except for teaching the concepts of how to do something specific. The
students should be able to produce a similar result on their own in the future without the aid of a mentor.

V5: Teams must submit Production Run attempts via Robotevents.com.

V6: Video submissions must clearly state which Competition Phase the team is attempting.

V7: The video must have a stopwatch, clock timer on a smartphone, or another way of displaying time clearly
visible to verify the Run Time. Any video without time verification will not be scored.
