SECTION THREE
GLOBAL COMPETITION
Overview Because the Factory Automation Competition is classroom-based, the REC Foundation has created a ranking system to allow teams to compete against themselves as well as other organizations. Teams will video record a Production Run with an explanation of the processes and how they function to achieve each Competition Phase. In order to be ranked globally, Teams must upload a video submission of their Production Run to Robotevents.com. Registration Learn how to register your Factory Automation Competition teams here. Registration is included in the purchase of a V5 Workcell for all teams.

Teams must complete each phase in sequence, starting with Competition Phase 1.

T2: Teams are ranked within each Competition Phase based on the number of points scored.
T3: Team ranking tie breakers are determined as outlined below. a. Total Points Scored b. Total Throughput of Completed Orders c. Run Time for Competition Phase 3
Video Parameters V1: The Production Run video must be no longer than 5-minutes (5:00) in length, including credits. (Credits are not required).
V2: The video may be your team speaking, a voice-over storyboard, a voice-over PowerPoint, or any other video format of your choosing.
V3: Students must be the ones who research, design, write, edit, film, and produce the video. Mentors should have a very limited role in giving direction except for teaching the concepts of how to do something specific. The students should be able to produce a similar result on their own in the future without the aid of a mentor.
