The Game

2014 FRC game image

AERIAL ASSIST

AERIAL ASSIST was the game for the 2014 FIRST Robotics Competition. Teams of three robots play by passing large 20 in diameter exercise balls between each other and eventually scoring them in goals at the end of the field. Robots can pass the balls over a truss that spans the field for extra points. Read more on Wikipedia (opens in a new tab).
