CRITERIA B: PLANNING FOR PERFORMANCE – DRAFT SCAFFOLD

Activity Name: Group Members:

Blindfolded Robot Wars Huda Amjad & Dalia Agha

Instructions on how the activity / challenge runs:

For this blindfolded activity, an area of about 10m by 10m on grass with cones around
the border will be marked. 25 paper balls (crushed up paper) will be randomly spread
out across the area.

5 teams with 2 people in each team. One is the Robot and the other is the Director.
The Robot is blind folded and is in the zone, the Director is sighted (not blind folded)
and stands just outside the zone. All the blindfolded Robots will be in the zone.

To score points the Director (non-blindfolded person) directs the Robot to the balls of
paper (walking only, no running). They pick these up and then are directed to throw
them at the other Robots. If they hit, then the pair gets a point.

Each game lasts 5 minutes. The pair with the most points wins.

If anyone steps outside the zone, they have to do ten pushups on the spot.

Important Rules and Safety Measures:

1. Each team will have one of their players attempting the Blindfolded Robot Wars
course while the other directs them.

2. Do not step outside the zone. If the Robot steps out of the zone they have to do
ten push 10 ups on the spot.
 3. Players are allowed to hold up to 3 paper balls at a time.

4. Players can only use one hand to throw and pick the paper balls for the first
half of the game, after 2.5 minutes have passed they are allowed to use 2
hands.

5. The directors are not allowed to step in the zone, if they do they are not
allowed to talk to their partner for 10 seconds.

6. If the players hit each other hard with the paper ball, then they are frozen on
the spot and are not allowed to move for 20 seconds.
