The Game

This year’s game is named “INTO THE DEEP”! In this game, a team consists of two drivers, a human player, a coach, and the robot itself. Each match is played along with four randomly selected teams, each alliance is allowed only one human player of their choice, which does lead to the possibility that the people on your opposing team on one round, may possibly become your partner in another. Each alliance is allowed only one human player.

The game is played on a 12 foot square playing field with the use of a foam tile floor, one foot tall walls, with a submersible structure in the center of the playing field. Before each match, 60 small plastic blocks are randomly arranged in the submersible zone, an additional game element to this game is “The Clip”, human payers may attach their blocks to the clips, turning them into “specimens” that give the team the ability to acquire more points if their robot manages to attach them to the submersible. Specimen colors may only correlate with your alliance colors to earn points.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, robots may continue scoring but have protected access to their designated zones, this is the final stretch. The robots must physically contact the submersible’s low rung or higher there is also an option to park their robot in their observation zone which will lead to also gaining points.
