2002 Robot and Game

 

Each 2 minute match begins with the 24’ x 48’ field broken up into 5 zones and set up as follows. Four robots start on the playing field and are paired in alliances of two. There are 2 robots at diagonally opposite corners, 10 soccer balls in each driver station area, 20 soccer balls centered along each side of the field, and 3 moveable goals weighing approximately 130 lbs each in the center zone. The strategies are endless, but the basic objective is simple. Robots race around the playing field trying to gather balls, place them into goals, place their goals in their scoring zone, and return their robot to their starting zone before the 2 minutes have elapsed. At the end of each match, points are awarded as follows:
 


*1 point for each ball in a goal that is in a proper ball scoring zone.

*10 points for each goal in a proper goal scoring zone.

*10 points for each robot in a proper robot scoring zone.
