◼︎ challenges the development of a space elevator!

A competition will be held for teams of junior and senior high school students who are working on the development of a space elevator, which is attracting attention as a future means of transportation into space, using LEGO bricks.

They compete with aircraft that have been developed through trial and error to climb faster and more reliably.

◼︎Participating teams!

11:40-13:15

 

1. team rules

*Multiple members can be assigned to each role!

(in) charge (of an area of responsibility, but not necessarily supervision of staff)	role
leader	He is the head of the team, elected by the members.
pilot	Become a climber pilot.
mechanic	Climbers are set up and a final check is made before the start.
Presenter.	Teams will give a presentation on their modified climbers.

 

 

2. presentation

Presentations will be given in the form of posters! Each poster should be no more than one A0-size print or eight A3-size prints, and should be presented in three minutes. The posters will remain on display after the presentations and will be voted on by investors.

*The investors will be those who come to watch the Cracon and will have a vote of 10 CL per unit.

 

3. climber rules

Each team will build and modify its own climber with its own goals. The climber should be able to be controlled automatically using LEGO® MINDSTORM or similar. LEGO® parts should be used.

interpoint (interword separation) Material Handling:.350ml PET bottleto fill the bottle with water, and the weight of the bottle, including the weight of the plastic bottle, is used as the amount of material transported.

Climber size: The climber should be made to fit within three sheets of A4 paper laid out horizontally. Materials for transportation are not included in the size.

Pre-test: At the stage of modification, perform sufficient tests to confirm operation and safety.

Fixing of cables and transport materials: Use LEGO® and rubber bands to fix cables and PET bottles.

4. competition rules

Format: The competition will be two teams at a time, with 3 minutes to elevate the climber. Only the pilot and mechanic may touch the elevator during the ascent and descent.

Cable and space base: The cable will be 4 m long. Since a space base will be set up in the sky above, please incorporate a control system so that the cable can turn back when it touches the space base.

Starting point: The starting point is based on the climber's upper edge, including the PET bottle, relative to the cable markings.

Battery: Insert a new battery when installing the cable.

Time: Climbers will have 5 minutes to prepare for installation and 3 minutes for competition.

5. evaluation method

KURACON will evaluate the Space Climber created by each team based on two criteria: presentation and carrying ability. The Best Climber Award will be given to the climber with the best carrying ability, and the Castle Climber Award will be given to the climber with the best overall evaluation of carrying ability and presentation.

 

(Evaluation of presentation)

Investors and representatives of each team will vote for the most attractive presentation of each team. Two crowns will be awarded for each vote.

*The people who come to watch the game are considered investors and have a vote of 2 crowns per unit.

presentation valuation basis

You will be asked to rate the following items 1, Was the vision you drew attractive? (Background) 2, Was the direction of the climber's production suitable to realize the vision? 3,Were there any devices used to convey the information in an easy-to-understand manner? (e.g. photos, illustrations, etc.)

 

(Evaluation of carrying capacity)

The following total points will be scored.

Basic points: speed	Number of times the space base is reached x 10 crowns
Basic points: power	Amount of water the climber can carry (multiplied by the cla above depending on the quantity, 0g:x1, 50g:x2, 100g:x3, 150g:x4, 200g or more:x5)
Bonus: Passenger Transport	If you can transport people to a space base, you are one:20 crowns will be added (max. 60 crowns)(Until)

 

6. commendation

Best Climber Award The climber with the highest carrying capacity evaluation score will be sent to: the climber with the highest carrying capacity evaluation score.

Castle Climber Award The climber with the largest total kula earned will be awarded the prize.
