Project

[edit]

Teams were tasked with identifying a problem that can occur in the human body and creating an inventive solution. Then teams shared their project with the community and with judges at competition.[6]

Gameplay

[edit]

Thetable performanceportion of Body Forward is played on a 4 ft by 8 ft field rimmed by wood boards. At competition, two of these fields are placed together to form an 8 ft square. In each2+12-minute match, a team competes on each field with their robot to earn up to 400 points manipulating the mission models.
