2005 - Triple Play
2005 - Triple Play
Alliances pick up metal pyramids called "tetras", and place them on goals. 9 goals are arranged on the field in a 3x3 array, like a tic-tac-toe board. Alliances earn points for each tetra of their color on a goal, and bonus points for making three-in-a-row with their tetras.
Alliances had three teams, up from the previous two. Vision systems - cameras with sensor software - were included in the kit of parts, allowing robots to detect and pick up tetras during autonomous mode.
991 teams competed in 30 regionals.
