2016: SPACE-SPHERES

The 2016-2017 Zero Robotics game is called SPACE-SPHERES

Game Description:

TO: SPACE-SPHERES Teams
RE: ATTENTION! CALLING TEAMS TO BUILD SATELLITES!
All engineers in Satellite Positioning and Constructing Entities division,
The Earth Governing System urgently needs space engineers to facilitate
relocation of humans to Mars.
As you are well aware, the Earth is becoming uninhabitable and we have to
relocate to Mars permanently. For a smooth transportation to Mars, we must first scout
out the best locations for residences and other buildings. Fastest way of identifying
these locations is to build surveying satellites to orbit Mars.
The Earth Governing System already launched the necessary satellite pieces into
the space. Engineering teams are asked to construct these pieces into satellites in
“ideal zones”, identified based on current solar and meteorite activity. However, the
coordinates of ideal zones are unknown until teams place their three Satellite
Positioning System devices and get a reading. Once the SPS are placed, teams can
assemble their satellite pieces at their zones.
Good luck to all participating space engineers.
On behalf of the Earth Governing System,
Alvar Saenz-Otero

New information!
We are informed that the space engineers from our rival company SPACE-Y are
also trying to build satellites to go to Mars. The team which will be able to
construct their satellites fastest will be made a contract. But beware, SPACE-Y might
want some of the satellite pieces that you’ve already collected for themselves. We
wish all engineering teams luck in this competition.
May the best team win.
On behalf of the Earth Governing System,
Alvar Saenz-Otero
