2024 CADathon: DunkTank

In DunkTank, two alliances of three teams each compete to determine who is the dunking GOAT. Teams have 2 minutes and 15 seconds to dunk BASKETBALLS and use ELECTROLYTES to advance their performance. At the end of the match, the alliance with the most points wins!

The first 15 seconds of the match are the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD, where ROBOTS will follow pre-programmed instructions to earn points by completing the following tasks:

1. Dunking BASKETBALLS in HOOPS

2. Scoring ELECTROLYTES in DUNK TANKS

3. Exiting an ALLIANCE ZONE

For the remainder of the match, which is referred to as TELEOPERATED PERIOD, drivers take control of their ROBOTS and earn points by accomplishing the following:

1. Dunking BASKETBALLS in HOOPS

2. Scoring ELECTROLYTES in ALLIANCE DUNK TANKS during the ENDGAME

3. Completely FILLING HOOP STACKS by the end of the match

The final 20 seconds of the TELEOPERATED PERIOD are called the ENDGAME.  As explained later on in the manual, specific gameplay elements will change during this period.

The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match wins!
