Competition Description:

This competition had students solve a dock management problem. The course was set up so it simulated a shipping dock delivering containers via three modes of transportation: rail, sea, and air. The containers were represented using blocks which differed in size depending on how they were to be shipped. In addition, the blocks could be one of six possible colors. On the course there were squares of various sizes and colors marked which served as the destinations for the blocks. The goal of the competition was to take each block and deliver it to the square of the matching size and color as quickly as possible. Official Rules
