Skills-Only Event: Remote, Pre-Recorded A “Remote, Pre-Recorded” Skills-Only Event is an event held exclusively via videos of Robot Skills Matches that are submitted to and scored by an Event Partner and/or Head Referee

• Videos submitted for a Pre-Recorded Skills event must be recorded and submitted within the duration of the event set by the Event Partner. Videos recorded prior to the event’s start date & time will not be acceptable

. • Event Partners will generate a set of unique, randomized alphanumeric code to be sent to each Team at the beginning of the Event.

• All video format rules set forth by the game committee apply. Furthermore, a second clock showing the current date / time must be on video during the entire match. 

. • Matches should follow the following procedure, done and shown on one video without any “cuts” or edits, in the following order:

1. Robot Inspection is done by the Team, showing on video, the inspection sheet signed and completed. Measurements must be done using a measuring device such as a Robot Sizing Tool or tape measure.

2. The Team says the random code that they were given by the Event Partner out loud on video while writing the code visibly on a paper or whiteboard.

3. Teams pair the Controller to the Robot.

4. The Team shows on video a closeup view of the Starting Position to provide video evidence that the Robot is in a legal starting position.

5. The Team says out loud and writes on paper or whiteboard if they are attempting a Programming Skills Match or Driving Skills Match.

6. The Team starts a Match when the clock begins.

7. After the Match, the Team must move the camera to each of the Goals saying out loud what counts as scored and records onto an official referee scoresheet.

8. The scoresheet is then shown clearly on video for a minimum of 10 seconds. While the scoresheet is being recorded, Teams can reset the field for the next Match.

9. The Team can then repeat steps 3-8 for their remaining allotment of Matches, i.e. maximum of 3 Programming Skills Matches and 3 Driving Skills Matches, one after another on the same video recording.

10. The video recording can now be stopped.

• Event may be canceled or postponed if fewer than 16 teams participate.

• Teams will need to upload their video on a publicly accessible platform like YouTube

• In addition to the above instruction, the following instruction is provided by the hosting EP for this event. Each team's submission is to be under 45 minutes in length, should not include any practice rounds (as they may be performed prior to recorded attempts), may include on-video repairs/program adjustments (time permitting), and it is the teams responsibility to check their video after it is uploaded for video/audio quality. Do not submit more than 3 rounds of each skill. Any rounds after the 3rd of each will not be counted. Anything after 45 minutes will not be counted. If you cannot finish your rounds in 45 minutes, you may want to start over.
