The Game

DIABOLICAL DYNAMICS

DIABOLICAL DYNAMICS was the game for the 2001 FIRST Robotics Competition. Four robots competed together for a high score, without an opposing alliance. The playing field was a carpeted, rectangular area divided in half by a railing with a central bridge, which could tilt to either side of the field or remain level. Two 7 ft tall movable goals begin on opposite sides of the field. Each match is a maximum of two minutes long. Alliances can end the match at any time. Alliances score one point for each small ball in the goal, ten points for each large ball in the goal, ten points for each robot in the End Zone, and ten points if the stretcher is in the End Zone. The alliance doubles its score for each goal that is on the bridge if the bridge is balanced, and multiplies its score by a factor of up to three by ending the match before the two-minute time limit.
