B.6.e: The propulsion system(s) and energy source(s) must be part of, and travel with, the vehicle. There is one exception: Team members who are providing direct human energy for the propulsion of the vehicle do not have to ride on the vehicle. For example, they could walk behind the vehicle and push it.

B.6.e: 动力系统和能源必须是小车的一部分，并且同小车一起行驶。有一个例外：如果由队员直接给小车提供动力，队员不是必须要坐在小车上。例如，队员可以走在小车后面推动它。

 3. 

B5a & B6d: A team member pushing a vehicle is not considered a different propulsion system than a team member pulling the vehicle. A team member who provides energy for propulsion and is not traveling on the vehicle is not considered part of the vehicle's propulsion system. Also, switching team members does not count as changing the type of energy.

B5a & B6d:队员拉动小车作为动力系统和队员推动小车作为动力系统，不视作不同的动力系统。如果一个队员为小车提供动力但不和小车一起行驶，这个将不被认作是小车动力的一部分。同样，换队员也不被认作是换了一个不同类型的动力。

B8a: After the vehicle has reached the line and stopped at a required stop, it is allowed to move in order to help display an emotion. This movement must not assist in traveling to the next stop area. That is, in displaying the emotion it cannot reposition to help move toward the next stop and must not move toward the next stop.

B8a：在小车达线并停完成所要求的停留后，小车被要求移动，用来帮助展示一个情感。移动必须不是用来帮助去到下一个停留区的过程，也就是说，在展示情感的时候，小车不能改变位置来帮助继续向下一个站点移动，也不能直接向下一个站点移动。

B6d: The vehicle must travel two different times using a different source of energy each time or a different propulsion system each time.

 6. 

B8a: To count as crossing a line any part of the vehicle must cross any part of the line (crossing an imaginary extension of the line is not considered crossing the line). The vehicle may extend over part of the taped line and does not have to physically touch it. To receive score for each stop the vehicle must come to rest at any time after crossing the line and the "ooh-motional" change has been completed, before it starts traveling to the next stop.

B8a：小车的任意部分越过线的任意部分即算作已越过线（越过虚线部分的延长线不算做已越过线）。小车可以伸出卷尺的一部分且不需要物理接触。小车必须在越过先后的任何时间里停止移动，以此来给每次停留计分。同时，“哦-运动”变化必须在小车向下一个站点旅行前完成

 7. 

B7a: The appearance of the vehicle when it leaves the Start Area is considered its original displayed emotion. The next emotion will be based on its appearance after it has crossed Line A and comes to rest.

B7a：小车离开出发区时的表现将被视为最初的展示的情感。下一个情感则是小车在越过A线后并停止后的表现为基础。

Jan-18-2012  

 8. 

B6b: If the vehicle is designed to increase in size it is allowed. However, it must be completely outside of the Start Area before increasing in size. The vehicle must not be designed to avoid traveling to the lines. For example, it is not allowed to project components across the lines. It must travel the course.

B6b：如果小车的设计成可以扩展的尺寸是被允许的。然而，小车必须在完全离开出发区后才能增加尺寸。例如，小车不能设计部件横穿线，小车必须沿着路线旅行。

 9. 

B8a: The vehicle may travel as far as the team wishes once it crosses the line on a required trip as long as it does not provide an advantage in reaching the next line. For example, the vehicle could cross beyond Line A and turn around as long as it does not travel beyond beyond Line A on the path to Line B. The vehicle must come to rest and change emotion before traveling to the next line.

B8a：一旦小车按照要求的旅程越过线后小车可以旅行的和队伍所希望的一样远，只要这不是为达到下一个线提供预先的占先优势。连丽如，小车可以越过A线到距A线较远的那边后停留，只要它不是越过A线旅行到距离A线较远但却是A线通往B线的路线上。（不能是离A线较远但离B线较近的地方）小车在向下一个线旅行钱，必须停留并完成情感变化。

B9a: To be considered "tangible" the sample must be observable through the sense of touch and must have both mass and observable dimension. For example, temperature itself can be felt through touch but it has no observable mass or dimension so it would not qualify.

B9a:样本必须可以被触觉感知，并且有可测的体积尺寸才能被视作“有形”。例如，虽然温度可以被感觉到，但是没有可测的体积尺寸， 所以不符合条件。

D.4b: The location of the mysterious events in the performance must visually resemble the selected image or a portion of the selected image. The team may refer to the location by any name or title. However, the location must be depicted as being at that physical location on Earth. For example, the team may select the image of the Richat Structure and depict a portion of that image but call it any name it wishes but it cannot be presented as being in New York City.

D.4b:表演中发生神秘事件的地点必须与你们自己所选择的图片在外表上相似或者是所选择的图片的一部分。参赛队可以给地点任意指定名字或标题。但无论怎样，这个地点必须被描绘成地球上的实际地点（物理地点）。比如，参赛队可以选择理查特结构的图片并描绘图片的部分，但可以任意给他命名，但不能是现在已经出现在纽约市里的。
