Silk Road
[Abstract]
In the ancient world, there were two empires (red team and blue team) on
both sides of the continent, and they both needed to trade with others
countries on the continent. Thus, there are two trading routes between the
two empires and other countries: Silk Road.
Now the two empires send a
caravan and a ship to each other. The caravan will trade inland and go over
the mountains and the ship will cross the ocean, sell goods to countries
along the way and get their treasure boxes as gifts. After traveling the
other countrises, the caravan and the ship will arrive at the other empire,
and finally return to their homeland with treasures and build a pagoda which
symbolizes civilizations and prosperity.
Your team will design and build two robots to transfer goods to the other
countries
and get treasures from the other countries back to homeland to
build a treasure
pagoda. The object of the game is to score points by
trading goods and building
pagoda.
