If you only have one Vorpal, don't worry! You can certainly still play capture the flag.

One Flag

  • Place one flag and one cup on the floor. Mark where the flag was so that you can place it back there later. Place your robot a designated distance from the flag. The specific distances between the cup, flag, and robot can be whatever you would like them to be, but it's important that they are consistent between rounds.
  • Time how long it takes you to pick up the flag and drop it into the cup.
  • Try to beat your personal record! After all, you are your own best competition. This is also helpful practice that will allow you to defeat your opponents in future multiple robot capture the flag games.

Multiple Flags

  • Place multiple flags and one cup on the floor.
  • See how many flags you can pick up and drop into the cup in two minutes (or another time of your choice, based on your proficiency and the number of flags you have available).
  • Try to beat your personal record!
