These vary in length from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Section 1 was the assembly of a known station - one that the competitors were familiar with. This was followed by troubleshooting on that station. In all subsequent sections, competitors either had to develop their own solutions to a problem by ordering parts from a competition catalogue (this was done in 2 sections) or build and integrate new stations of a given design. This experiment was part of the move towards adding Productivity to the criteria Time and Performance and is now anchored in the Trade Description, the document that outlines the scope of the next competition. The final, unofficial Section 12 was "Drinking Beer and "Singing in 3-part Canon". It was not evaluated. The unofficial section always seems to be the most fun for everyone... | |||||

After 4 stressful days the competitors had all built an assembly line that manufactures a number of variants of products that have 3 different coloured housings and 3 instruments - clock, hydrometer and thermometer. The slides at the front of the robot station contain the instruments, the slides on the right are for the finished product by instrument type. The products were designed to be highly attractive as giveaways. They were! | |||||
