Target Area Material Processing: No adhesives (e.g., super glue). Violations result in 0 points for that device, but no total score deduction. Gluing on the Target Area is not penalized, but if gluing prevents Rotation back to the required angle, it results in disqualification unless a compliant Target Area is provided immediately. Five-hole Rod is mandatory for Target Area; an additional layer may be added, but no restrictions on the Mechanical Design of devices 1-8 and the catapult.

Scientific Concepts: Includes 4 Science devices and 3 Green Energy devices. Magnetic Force (including repulsion) is interpreted leniently.

Scoring Criteria: If a ball is stuck in a Five-hole Rod, the higher score will be awarded.

Reset Rules: A 10-minute repair period is provided. Except for the Launch Mechanism, all 8 devices must be reset within this timeframe.

If judges find obvious Rotation or deformation (e.g., into a rhombus), immediate correction is required; failure to restore results in loss of throw eligibility. Post-throw discovery does not affect that score, but manual adjustment back to standard is required as requested.

8.6.7. Motor Usage Restrictions: The motors used in Robots A and B may not exceed 5. For Robot C, the motors used may not exceed 4.
