No Equipment Constraint: The mission model cannot earn points if it is touching equipment at the end of the match.
In this mission, you must carefully clean the area with the brush and remove the buried artifacts without damaging them. The goal is to push the soil deposits to the sides and detach the brush so that it does not touch the model. You can earn the highest points if the brush is collected and used in Mission 14.
The mission model is located on the left side of the field, right next to the home area. This makes it possible to reach the mission model directly from the home area. An easy way to push the soil deposits aside is to lower a trapezoid-shaped attachment so that its slanted surfaces push the deposits out of the way as it moves down. Another approach is to insert an attachment with beams or axles so the robot can push one deposit and pull the other away.
To collect the brush, you can use a “claw” mechanism that grips it and lifts it up. The brush can then be placed in the home area near the model, allowing the team to prepare it for Mission 14 even before the robot returns to base. This way, the robot can continue moving across the field without the team having to worry about dropping the brush or the brush getting in the way of the next mission.
There is also a flower slightly sticking out toward the wall. Be careful with it when moving and placing attachments in the home area.
