Question:
What happens if a component is completely missing?

Answer:
If a required LEGO component is not available or has already been used, it can be borrowed directly from WRO Switzerland. Please include the LEGO part number with your request so that we can help you.

 

Question:
What to do if not all components for the additional task are available in the correct color?

Answer:
The color of the components is irrelevant for solving all additional tasks. Teams can also build objects such as the fire or the fire extinguisher in other colors if certain parts are missing or already installed elsewhere. This does not result in any disadvantage for the solution.

 

Question:
For tasks with short actions (e.g. fire extinguisher touches fire), how do we ensure that this is assessed correctly by our referees?

Answer:
The additional tasks were deliberately designed to enable interesting technical and strategic solutions. Precise observation is also required: the referees work in teams of two and are specifically trained for such situations. This allows them to reliably recognize whether, for example, a touch has taken place correctly.

 

Question:

In the senior category, when must the fire extinguisher be brought to the fire in order to receive full points?

Answer:

For the full 20 points, the fire must be extinguished right at the start. As soon as another task is started, only 10 points are awarded. A task counts as started as soon as the first component is touched. As soon as a component of another task has been touched, no more points are awarded for the additional task.

 

Question:
