FACTORY AUTOMATION COMPETITION

Game Rules

G1: Treat everyone with respect. This rule exists alongside the REC Foundation Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct can be found here.

G2: FAC is a student-centered program. Adults should not make decisions about the Workcell’s build, design, or gameplay, and should not provide an unfair advantage by providing ‘help’ that is beyond the Students’ independent abilities. Students must be prepared to demonstrate an active understanding of their Workcell’s design, construction, and programming during their video interview. The Student-Centered Policy can be found here with this link included in that sentence like G1 above. G3 : Prior to the start of a Production Run, Students must verbally describe and show how each Defective Product has been created. Students must then randomize the Products and Defective Products in the Beginning Inventory Storage.

G4: Any Mishandled Product must remain where it is dropped until the end of the Production Run unless an error occurs and the E-stop is enabled.

G5: If an error occurs during a Production Run, students must use the E-stop to disable the Workcell and fix the error. Once the error is fixed, the Workcell may start up again. Any Product that Students interact with must go back into Beginning Inventory Storage before starting the Workcell again.
