UCSD students inspired by bouncy ball stunts have unleashed a torrent of balls all over campus. The balls have ended up scattered on the top of buildings all over campus. However, not to fear, Aerospace, Bio, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering students are here to the rescue. They have been studying the construction cranes all over campus, and will build their own machines to clean up campus and put the balls in their proper locations. A model of campus buildings has been created with bouncy balls lodged in their roofs. There are low point balls, medium point balls, high point balls, and a single central ball-of-fire located on a bridge. The objective of the contest is for each robot to collect as many balls as possible and place them into the holding bins on their side of the playing field. The ground level "bin" multiplies ball points by one, the mid-level bin multiplies ball points by two, and the highest level bin multiplies ball points by three.
