• There are 8 lower tetras that stand at about 5.25 ft tall.
• One center tetra goal is elevated on a 43 inch tall base and will be about 7 feet from top of the tetrahedron to the bottom of the base.
• There are also 2 attendant tetra loading stations placed around the field.
• There are 2 manual (human player controlled) loading stations on the other side of the field.
• There are 2 special Vision Tetras placed randomly on the field just before autonomous starts.
• Robots must be contained within a 28"x38"x60" box at the start of the match.

Autonomous Mode:

• During autonomous mode, your robot can pick up a special vision tetra and place it on a goal for bonus points.
• Another option for robots is the 2 hanging tetras on either corner goal that the robot can knock down for extra points.
• Bonus points are added to your corner goals between end of autonomous mode and teleoperated period.
• For extra points during autonomous, vision tetras must be placed on any of the 3 center goals or the 2 corner goals on your side of the field.

Human Player Element

• Human players (1 from each team) are standing on pressure pad "mats" on the side of the field.
• If the human player steps off this pad at any time during the match, his team's robot is disabled until he returns to the mat.
• With the 2 manual (human player controlled) loading stations, when a robot goes onto the loading symbol the human player can step off of the mat and place a tetra manually on the robot and then return to the mat to reactivate the robot.
• When loading a tetra, the human player may have no contact with the robot.

Game Play:

• Robots must place the tetras on top of the goals.
• The loading stations will be operated by a field attendant and when a robot takes a tetra from this station it will be replaced with another by the field attendant but they may be oriented differently each time.
• Your robot cannot interfere with an opposing robot while any part of it is touching the loading zone.
• You may only be given 1 tetra at a time by the human player.
• Robots cannot "grab, grasp, grapple, or attach to the GOALS or any other field structure".
• After autonomous mode, robots can place tetras on any goal on the field.
• To make a row, your colored tetra must be the top tetra on the stack on every goal in that specific row.
• Opponents may counter a row by placing one of their colored tetras on top of yours.

Scoring:

• 3 points for each tetra stacked on top of a goal (in order to be considered stacked, the tetra must still remain on the goal if any supporting objects are removed.
• 1 point for each tetra placed on the floor in the base of the goal (tetras must not be touching any area outside the containment area under the goal).
• 10 points for each row of tetras
• 10 points if all 3 robots on an alliance are behind the starting line at the end of the match.
