SPONTANEOUS PROBLEMS

7 April 2017, Friday

All teams to report to ACS (Independent) Tan Sri Tan Chin Tuan Auditorium 1 at 1:00 pm.

All teams will be quarantined until their turn to report to the competition site.

STRICTLY NO use of hand phones allowed in the Holding Area.

Everyone on the team must enter the room; however, only five will compete.

Once the team has completed the Spontaneous Problem, they will be required to leave the competition site quietly.

While it is exciting to complete Spontaneous, it is important not to discuss the problem with others outside of the team until after the competition. What happens in spontaneous stays in spontaneous!

2017 Long-Term problem synopses All problems have an 8-minute time limit.

Problem 1: Catch Us If You Can (Divisions I, II, III & IV) This is your Odyssey, should you choose to accept it…your team will design, build, and run

vehicles from a multi-level Parking Garage to a secret meeting place without being stopped.

Vehicles will travel different routes to reach the same destination. During their Odyssey, the

vehicles will do something that prevents them from being followed. The performance will include

the reason for the meeting, someone that wants to prevent the meeting, a simulation of a scene

taking place inside a vehicle as it travels, and a soundtrack to accompany the vehicles’ travel.

Cost limit: $145 USD.

Problem 2: Odd-a-Bot (Divisions I, II, & III) For this problem, teams will create a humorous story about a family that brings home an “Odd-a-

Bot.” Instead of being programmed to perform tasks, this Odd-a-Bot robot learns from watching

others. Teams will design, build, and operate an original robot that demonstrates human

characteristics when performing tasks. In the performance, the Odd-a-Bot will move and learn

human actions from watching characters perform activities such as household chores, creating art,

and dancing. The Odd-a-Bot learns more than it was expected to learn, and will confuse its actions

with humorous results.


Problem 3: Classics… It’s Time, OMER (Divisions I, II, III & IV) The future and the past collide in this problem about important works of art – both existing and

yet-to-be-created. Teams will create and present an original performance about time travelers

looking to discover the inspiration for great works of art, little did they know – it was OMER

every time! The travelers go back in time — twice into our past and once into our future. They will

see OMER inspire two classical artists and a team-created artist from our future. The performance

will include how the three works of art positively impact the world, a visual and audible effect that

indicates when time travel is occurring, two re-creations of the classic works of art selected from a

list, and a team-created work of art.


Problem 4: Ready, Set, Balsa, Build! (Divisions I, II, III & IV) Creativity can be defined by using only what you have to get a job done. In this problem, teams

will design, build, and test a structure made of only balsa wood and glue that will balance and

support as much weight as possible. The structure must include sets of balsa pieces of

predetermined sizes and quantities as listed in the problem. Some sets must be parts of the

structure while others, if incorporated, will receive additional score – the more sets of pieces used,

the higher the score! Teams will present a performance with a theme about using what’s available

and that incorporates weight-placement and assembling original team creations.


Problem 5: To Be Continued: A Superhero Cliffhanger (Divisions I, II, III & IV) Creativity is being taken away from the world, and it is up to Odyssey teams to rescue it! Teams

will create and present a humorous performance about an unexpected superhero that encounters

three different situations where it must save creativity in some way. The superhero will change

appearance when it displays its superpowers and go back to blending in with society when not.

The performance will also include a clumsy sidekick, a nemesis character, a choreographed battle,

and a cliffhanger ending.


11

Primary: Movin’ Out! (Kindergarten – P2) Teams will create and present a performance about a group that is moving out of one place and

into another. In one scene, team-created props and scenery will make up the first setting. To

transform into a new setting, team-made devices will move the scenery and props to a new

location. Everything in the setting for the next scene must be made from the transported items. The

performance will also include a humorous Moving Character, a reason for the move, and a lost

item that is rediscovered in an unusual place.
