Tournament Manual

Our event team is in the process of creating a detailed tournament manual. Key guidance is:

  • Our intention is that you don’t need to change your robot or set points. The field will remain constant
  • We are sure to see some VERY high performing alliances. Therefore we will add ways to score that should give some head-room in the scoring and allow for alliance differentiation.
