Programming Skills Challenge One robot takes the field to score as many points as possible during an autonomous round with limited human interaction.

Game Challenge Matches

Multiple robots compete with

  • ther robots to score as many

points as possible. Driver's Skills Challenge Matches Are entirely driver controlled, building problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork skills.
