2026 HiMCM Problem B: Clarification
In the table in Requirement 2a, the values in the “Energy Use” column are listed in units of kW/hr. This is an error. The correct unit is kW (kilowatts). The Energy Use values represent the power each cooling system draws while operating. For example, the Fan System draws 0.25 kW, so it uses 0.25 kWh of energy for each hour it runs.

Use of AI Tools in COMAP Contests
This policy is motivated by the rise of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI assisted technologies. The policy aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to teams, advisors, and judges. This policy applies to all aspects of student work, from research and development of models (including code creation) to the written report. Since these emerging technologies are quickly evolving, COMAP will refine this policy as appropriate.
