4 *HS Cyber Robot Challenge Software Delivery Instructions To submit the Cyber Robot software for the High School challenge, only the controllers directory needs to be submitted. This directory should include all code that the students have written, including any additional modules that were written to be used by the various controllers. These files should all have a.p y extension, as they are Python source files. Your controllers directory may also contain.pyo files., which are generated automatically by Python for efficiency. These files will be ignored in the submission so you are not required to submit these files. Below highlights what should be included in the submission: To submit this folder, zip the entire controllers directory, and rename according to the directed file naming convention. See the instructions on how to zip folders if needed. On challenge day, the controllers directory on the challenge computer will look exactly like what is submitted (without.pyo files, if any were submitted). Zipping Instructions Zipping is one method for compressing a number of files into one file. This is often used to be able to reduce file size (if the contents are compressible) or to simply have a single file rather than a number of files. Please follow the following instructions to zip your submittals: Windows: 1. Locate the file or folder that you want to compress. 2. Right-click the file or folder, point to Send To, and then click Compressed (zipped) Folder. A new compressed file is created. To rename it, right-click the file, click rename, and then type the new name. 4

5 Mac: 1. Locate the file or folder that you want to compress. 2. Right-click the file or folder, and choose Compress from the shortcut menu A new compressed file is created. To rename it, select the file, then press Return and then type the new name. 5
