What is Squared Away?

In the Vex IQ Squared Away competition, two teams (two robots) work together to score the most points as possible. There are blue, green, and red cubes on the playing field, as well as orange plastic balls. Balls scored inside of cubes are 1 point each. Balls scored on top of cubes are 2 points each. Green cubes scored on top of platforms are worth 20 points each. Red and blue cubes scored inside of scoring zones are worth 10 points each. The teams get 1 minute to get as many points as possible, and collectively, after all their games, the team with the most points wins.
