The 2021 Infinite Recharge game maintained the same core objectives but introduced several adjustments to accommodate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Teams still competed by gathering and launching Power Cells into different scoring zones of the Shield Generator, with a focus on maximizing points through both autonomous and teleoperated play. The Control Panel element, where teams could spin the color wheel for additional points, was also retained. During the endgame, robots attempted to climb the Generator Switch and balance it for extra points.

Infinite Recharge at Home: Teams submitted videos showcasing their robots completing specific tasks.

Game Design Challenge: Teams designed and proposed their own FRC game concepts.

Innovation Challenge: Students developed innovative solutions to real-world problems, with a focus beyond the robotics field.

These challenges allowed teams to participate in a more flexible format, ensuring continued engagement in FIRST Robotics despite restrictions.
