Robot Game

The Most Visual Part of the Day!!

3 separate, 2.5 Minute Rounds

The Robot game is a way for teams to be able to show their accomplishments throught the season in a really exciting and visual way. The Robot Game is played on a 4ft x 8ft table, called the Game Table, sitting on it is the Game Field, and Challenge Set. Every Season, the Challenge Set and Field Change, but the kit of parts and the 4ft x 8ft table do not!

Released in August each year in a big game announcement, teams will practice, build, and shape everything they do around completing the missions on this table. This season, in SUBMERGED, there are a total of 15 Missions teams are able to complete. These Missions can be completed in any order, teams can choose which missions they will or will not attempt as they work together through the season!
