Challenges

Once you have completed the tutorials on how to program up to the Inventor level, these are the challenges that make up the body of the course. Many challenges have advanced "adaptations" or variations your team can add to earn more points. Generally, the challenges worth greater points are more difficult. It is recommended that you work your way through from easier to harder. There is more here than teams could accomplish in the 3 week course, so feel free to pick and choose.

Point values noted do not include possible bonus points for adaptations. See each challenge sheet for bonus points.
