ARLISS2024(24th)

From the Student Management Team

ARLISS 2024 marks the 25th anniversary since the first competition in 1999, and we introduced many new initiatives more than ever this year. Firstly, to cope with the rising participation fees due to the impact of currency exchange rates, we conducted a crowdfunding campaign. Thanks to the generous support from everyone, we were able to reduce the financial burden on participating students and create an opportunity to increase awareness of ARLISS's activities. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your warm support. Additionally, in the Comeback Competition, we experimentally introduced a new goal marker consisting of red spheres, which provided valuable data to make future Comeback Competitions more challenging. Furthermore, we launched a variety of new initiatives, such as drop tests using drones and the development of the ARLISS website. This year, 16 teams from Japan and 3 teams from overseas participated, and despite the bad weather, all teams successfully launched. Some teams achieved remarkable results, making this a competition that truly shone with the efforts and achievements of all participants. These accomplishments are thanks to the hard work of the student organizing team, teachers, participating organizations, and everyone who supported us through crowdfunding. We are especially grateful for the tremendous support from the AeroPAC team.

2. Update on Evaluation Content

We have changed the evaluation method from directly commenting on documents to using comment sheets. The comment sheets allow for intuitive confirmation of the feedback and corresponding actions. Moving forward, we plan to further refine the format to make it more user-friendly.

3. Introduction of New Goals

The purpose of introducing new goals is to incorporate the unique characteristics of ARLISS. The shape of the previous goals was not significantly different from those used in domestic CanSat competitions in Japan, and the methods of guiding to the goal were generally the same, which did not encourage new ideas or technologies. Therefore, we decided to introduce new goals to provide opportunities for generating new ideas and technologies. The new goals visualize the proximity to the goal, allowing differentiation within the zero-meter goal. Additionally, by setting the goal coordinates at points without physical markers like cones, zero-meter goals through flyback are also possible.
In the process of deciding the goal design, we focused on creating a design that allows for flyback landings and aimed for something that is easier to reproduce at a lower cost. We also added a new element of placing old markers in the east, west, south, and north directions to encourage various approaches to the goal. Finally, we proposed a goal with a backstory to evoke a sense of romance.

In the year 2XXX A.D., humanity was proceeding with a plan to emigrate to a planet outside the solar system. In the midst of this, an incident occurred in which astronauts exploring a new planet disappeared one by one. They all disappeared from the same location after sending the following message.
“Red spheres can be seen in all directions, east, west, south and north. They are all about the same distance from here.”
We cannot allow this situation to escalate any further. So, you good engineers, send a robot instead of a human to this point and try to find out what the hell happened to them. All we know is the content of their last communication and their approximate locations at that time.
