'''Take out the Mine''' is a [[RubberWorm]] scheme that uses the features "''Shot Doesn't End Turn''" and "''Fire Doesn't Pause Timer''", consisting in a race in which players must drop weapons ([[Bazooka|bazookas]], [[Grenade|grenades]], [[Dynamite|dynamites]] and [[Banana Bomb|bananas]]) from the [[Jet Pack]] to blow a dropped [[Mine|mine]] through all the map, taking care not to blow it up (if this happens, they will have to drop a new one at the latest checkpoint achieved), and not to lose the turn due to taking damage on the worm being controlled.

== Rules ==
* '''AFJ - Attack From Jetpack''' (players must drop weapons from jetpack to push the mine)
* '''STF - Start to Finish''' (each worm on its corresponding side must start at start and push its mine to the finish)
* '''Auto/hot keys are forbidden!'''
* If you accidently '''blew up the mine''', you should '''continue from the latest checkpoint you achieved''', dropping a new mine there. If you didn’t reach the first checkpoint: start from start again.

== Gameplay alternatives ==
=== Suggested by the author ===
* 100-200 HP worms (for experient players)
* Right after playing on one side and reaching the finish, play again, but this time on the other side (which might cause the feeling of playing on a different map).
=== Different from the original setup rules ===
{{ReplayBox|Take out the Mine.WAgame|An experimental 2vs2 Take out the Mine game|with sbs and FoxHound against Royal and cCLoWn}}
* Even though the original map description (with the scheme setup rules) says that players shouldn't play with more than 1 worm for each map side, the replay available on the right of this text shows an experimental 2vs2 gameplay: two allied worms per map side (1 per team/player). Note that the second allied worm may cause the mine activation, so players must be careful with that.
 
== History ==
On 19th August 2012, [[User:Skum|Skum]] [https://www.wmdb.org/21333 released a map + scheme] on [[WMDB]] titled "Take out the Mine". 

=== Similar ideas ===
On 9th November 2010 [[User:Merlade|merlade]] [https://www.wmdb.org/16097 released] on [[WMDB]] a very similar scheme entitled "[[Mine Race]]". [[User:Skum|Skum]] [https://www.wmdb.org/posts/16097 commented] on this map complaining that maybe "Take out the Mine" was not a new idea. On 8th August 2011 [[User:Peti|Peti]] [https://www.wmdb.org/18338 released] another very similar map + scheme named "[[Dud Mine Race]]". Also, a 2009 scheme in which players have to push a [[Worm]] instead of a mine already existed: [[User:xDNCxGhost64x|xDNCxGhost64x]]'s [[Baseball Race]]. Later, in 2014, a racing scheme (that also uses a lot the Jet Pack) with this "pushing a worm" concept was created by [[User:Sbs|sbs]], receiving the name "[[Driver]]" (inspired by the first task of his map "[https://www.wmdb.org/25416 Rubber Board II]", released months before).
