The 2010 Season
This year’s game requires teams to play a variation of soccer with robots. There are two goals on each side of the field in which alliances must score; each goal is worth 1 point. With bumps and tunnels in the way, each team designs a robot that can traverse the new terrain. The game lasts 2 minutes and 15 seconds and, just like in past seasons, the first 15 seconds are Autonomous; this means that robots run without human interaction on pre-programmed software. The last 20 seconds of the game brings back a task from several years ago: hanging the robot. If a team successfully hangs their robot by the end of the round, they earn an additional 2 points. Any robot hanging off of another alliance partner receives a whopping 3 points!
