This FRC game season is called Charged Up and is sponsored by Haas. In the first 15 seconds of the game the robots run autonomously, placing either a cube or a cone into the designated area. Cones can be placed either on poles, or pushed on the ground into a taped off box, while the cubes can be placed into boxes raised off the ground or into the same taped of boxes on the ground. Each cube or cone placed at the top of their power row is worth 6 points, the middle row is 4 points, and the bottom row is worth 3 points. At the end of the autonomous period the robots can dock at their charge station for additional points. During the remaining 2 minutes and 15 seconds the drivers control their robots. The robots can collect cubes and cones from the human players and deliver three power grids. Cones and Cubes properly placed in this time period are worth 5 points in the top row, 3 points in the middle row, and 2 points on the bottom row. You can create links between the grids by placing three game pieces in each section, that continue to either end on the same level. The robots are protected from any defensive play in their end of the field, shown by the tape in the alliance color. Similar to last years field, at the end of the game period they can try and fit all of their robots onto the charging station for additional points at the end of the game.
