“Blade Runner”
Game Overview
Blade Runner is based on the challenges and
opportunities surrounding
• the transportation of wind turbine components on US
infrastructure
• size, weight, hazards, etc.
• public/private roads, bridges, etc.
• the on-site assembly of the complex structures.
Game Premise
• Transport turbine components from your stockpile
area to the assembly area
•
•
•
Turbine components are large and heavy and may damage roads
Your team must receive approval to transport across roads and
bridges (through an oversize/overweight permit)
Two transportation paths exist of varying difficulty
Game Premise
• Your team must beware of environmental concerns
and animal habitats (Prairie Chicken)
•
•
Leave prairie chicken habitats undisturbed, or
Move them to a safe area
Game Premise
• At construction site, robots will assemble
•
•
a kilowatt wind turbine (small)
a megawatt wind turbine (large)
• At construction site, a human crane
operator will aid the robot in
•
•
Assembly and uprighting of the tower
Expansion of turbine blades
• Adjacent teams may choose to cooperate
in the robotic construction of a turbine and
may even share components for increased
cost efficiency
