We are interpreting the additional planes as a maximum of 25 points per team (the whole 2 minutes), not per task. In other words, if a devices ring bells on 6 planes, pops gloves on 2 planes, and makes drawings on 6 planes, the team gets 25 bonus points and that’s it. Right?
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedYes, a maximum of 25 points per team (not per task) for multiple planes. In addition, judges will only be scoring ‘multiple planes’ for those tasks that are completed on significantly varying planes. When judging what ‘significantly varying’ means, think of the box analogy. Inside a box, the various vertical planes are roughly 90 degrees different than each other (4 total vertical sides or planes). For judge scoring, the ‘multiple planes’ will be similar – if not exactly 90 degrees different for each plane, the pendulum swings would at least need to show a significant difference from previous vertical or horizontal planes to count as a different scoring plane. In other words, each swing of the pendulum could ‘technically’ be counted as completing a task on a separate plane (since the bob is not going to the exact same position on each swing or counter-swing), but the intent of the problem and extra ‘planes’ points is to show tasks on multiple planes that are notably different than previously scored planes.
Another example would be a cluster of bells. Each bell lives technically on a separate vertical plane, but judges would not score ‘multiple planes’ for a pendulum bob that hits a different bell in the cluster on multiple times, since essentially they’re considering the cluster of bells as one vertical plane, not multiple. The intent of the challenge is for teams to see if they can find a way for the pendulum bob to perform tasks on noticeably different planes (similar to the box analogy).
