Rack 'N' Roll

Rack 'N' Roll is played on a 54' by 27' carpeted field. The center of the playing field is occupied by the main scoring structure, the rack, containing 24 spider legs. The game is played by two alliances, red and blue, each consisting of three robots. To score, robots use tubes of their own colour to create columns or rows of their own alliances' colour. The game consists of a 15 second autonomous period where robots attempt to score "keeper" tubes on the rack and a 2 minute driver control period. Coloured tubes ("ringers") are worth 2 points and increase exponentially based on the length of the column or row. To negate points, black spoiler tubes may be placed over top of alliance ringers to nullify that tube's value and limit the exponential scoring. Alliances may score additional points if, by the end of the match, their robots in their home zone are lifted either 4" (15 points) or 12" (30 points) off the floor.
