ABOUT THE GAME

FIRST Robotics Competition game for the 2017 season. It is made up of  3 teams of two 3 per side who then compete on a field to score "match" point to win the game and ranking points to advance to playoff rounds. The game has a steampunk theme and teams are required to shoot wiffle balls which represent fuel into a simulated boiler which transfers the generated steam into an airship in the middle of the field. Each alliance has one airship, which they pressurize with steam from the boiler and load with plastic gears from the field. At the end of the match, robots can climb and hang on ropes in which are attached to the airship for additional points.
