MARC MATRIX Designer

The MARC Association includes workshops and competitions. Within this organization teams need to use a MATRIX alloy-metal kit designed to build robots, compile and document the development process into a project plan which they present to judges during an oral presentation. The competition follows a format where MARC participants form teams or alliances to complete specific tasks and score points. Teams are to collect energy cubes on a playing field, placing them successfully in the center within a given time frame to earn points. Teams can also push their opponent’s robots out of the playing field. The team with high scores receives round points. After ranking, the teams with the highest score will become seed alliance captains, qualifying them to select allied teams for the alliance finals.
