There are sixty-six (66) Cubes on a Tower Takeover Field, 22 Green, 22 Orange, and 22 Purple. There are also 7 Towers placed around the field, 5 of these are neutral, with the remaining two being alliance specific. Cubes can be Placed in Towers, or Scored in Goals. The exact value of each scored cube is determined by how many Cubes of that specific color have been Placed in Towers. When Cubes are Placed in or removed from Towers, the new values apply to ALL cubes, (the actions of one Robot will impact the potential score for both their own alliance, and their opponents). The alliance that scores more points in the Autonomous period is awarded with (6) bonus points, and 2 purple cubes, which may be introduced at any time during the driver control period.
