Q: How is the game played?
A: Each September, the season’s kickoff event unveils a new, exciting, and challenging game to be played on a themed 12’x12’ playing field. From the kickoff, teams have limited time to build and program a robot to compete in the game, typically composed of three sections: autonomous, driver-controlled, and the end game. Teams can use advanced artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and machine learning (ML) technologies to improve the performance of their competition robots during play. Points are added throughout game play, and penalties are assigned at the end of the match.
