ABOUT THE GAME
FIRST Stronghold™ is Rocket Robotics' sixth competition. The game premises was destroying the opposing alliances tower with cannon balls, as well as crossing tough defenses.
"Stronghold is a medieval tower defense game in which two alliances of up to three teams each compete to score points by breaching the opponent's outer works and capturing the opponent's tower. Before the match, teams and the audience select defenses to fortify the alliance's outer works. Teams receive two ranking points in the competition standings for a win and one ranking point for a tie. Each match begins with a 15-second autonomous period where robots act on pre-programmed instructions. The match then transitions to a 2 minute and 15 second teleoperated (tele-op) period, where robots are driven by the drive teams." - FIRST Stronghold Game Animation.
