Name Picture Description Points Movie
Roof Solar Panel Mission: Move the Roof Solar Panel ONTO the roof of the house by the sea for 15 points. 15 movie
Personal Vehicle Choice Mission: Move the Hydrogen Car TO the white property or all-black driveway of the house by the sea and move the truck either TO the parking lot to be recycled, or TO the farm to be re-purposed. The car in its target is worth 25 points only if the truck is in one of its targets. The parking lot is the white area directly west of Base. The farm is the white area isolated between both rivers. 25 movie movie
Hydro-dam Mission: Place the Dam so it is TOUCHING both banks of any river section east of Base for 25 points. The Dam must be upright. When the match is over, the referee places (or projects) the Flood upstream of the Dam and there is a single maximum 10 point deduction if any houses are being TOUCHED by the Dam or Flood. The Dam is never considered a stray object. 25 movie
Wind Turbines Mission: Place Wind Turbines so they are TOUCHING any white area not directly outside Base. The Wind Turbines must be upright. Scoring Wind Turbines are worth 15 points each. 30 movie
Grid Connection Mission: Place the Power Lines so they are TOUCHING the white of the Power Plant's property and the white of surrounding communities. The Power Lines must be upright. Communities connected to the Power Plant's property in this way are worth 5 points each. Each connected community that is in turn TOUCHING a scoring Hydro-Dam or scoring Wind Turbine is worth an added 5 points. 30 movie
Solar Powered Satellite Mission: Lower one of the Satellite's panels for 15 points. If your robot is the first to do this, 5 points are added. 20 movie
Wave Turbine Mission: Bring your own team-designed Wave Turbine (one per team) and move it TO the ocean directly west of the sandy beach. Your Wave Turbine model must consist of at least two pieces that move independently of each other. A scoring Wave Turbine is worth 25 points. A meaningful design is worth your time, but not worth points, and won't be judged. 25 movie
Coal Mining Mission: Get the loaded Rail Car to roll down the Railroad tracks. Only if and when the loaded Rail Car TOUCHES the stoppers at the end, the team is allowed to retrieve it TO Base by hand for 10 points. 10 movie
Oil Drilling Mission: Move all the Oil Barrels (including the red version) OFF the Oil Platform for 10 points. 10 movie
Corn Harvest and Processing Mission: Move all the Corn (including the red version) TO Base. The corn in its target is worth 25 points only if at least one Oil Barrel has been moved TO the Farm. 25 movie
Uranium Mining Mission: Move all the Uranium (including the red version) OUT of the farm for 15 points. 15 movie
Tree Planting Mission: Move Trees TO any area north of the main river. Trees must be upright. Pieces may be connected or attached to the Trees. Planted Trees are worth 10 points each. Trees moved to the Power Plant area could score as fuel, but do not score as planted. 40 movie
Power Plant Supply Mission: Move fuel TO the Power Plant's property. Trees: 10 points each (Maximum of two, because... For each Tree to score as fuel, another Tree must score as "Planted") Black Coal: 10 points for at least half of the original load Green Uranium: 10 points each White Oil Barrels: 5 points each Since energy is needed in order to find and process fuels, and since the processing and consumption of fuels often involves undesirable effects and by-products, the red versions of the fuel models represent inefficiency and negative impacts, which need to be minimized. There must be no red fuel models IN the Power Plant area for this mission to count. The separation (processing) of red fuel models from others may be done by the robot anywhere, or by hand IN Base. 30 movie
Oil Barrels Oil Barrels of either color are worth 10 points each IN [Base] as unused reserves, but... If you rescue the robot while there are Oil Barrels IN Base, the referee takes one away so it does not score. White will be taken before red. If there are no Oil Barrels IN Base at the time of the rescue, there is no loss. There is a single maximum 40 point deduction if any Oil Barrel from anywhere is TOUCHING any water or property with a house. 100 movie
