2019 Competition Rules

The rules for 2019:

The arena is divided into two 6' x 6' squares, with a barrier between them to block the view of the driver. Teams place their robot in the opposing square, and their four tokens in their own square.

The team that first removes all of their opponents tokens wins. If after 3 minutes neither team has removed all of the tokens, points are awarded for the tokens that have been removed: 4 points for the smallest down to 1 for the largest. The team with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, the round is run again. In the event of three ties, the winner is decided by coin toss.

A removed token has been pushed off or ejected from the 6' square.

Your robot must fit in a 10" cube at the beginning of the round. The robot may be remote controlled by a driver using Bluetooth-classic and a computer program. Data may be streamed in either direction. The robot can be fully autonomous, semi autonomous, or fully remote controlled.
