If an Alliance owns three goals in any direction (vertical, horizontal or diagonal), they will receive a 6 point bonus for a Connected Row. But be careful, Balls can be descored by the opposing Alliance at any time during the Driver-Control period!
The alliance that scores more points in the Autonomous period is awarded with (6) bonus points, added to the final score at the end of the match. Each Alliance also has the opportunity to earn an additional Win Point by completing their Home Row during the Autonomous Period. This Bonus can be earned by both Alliances, regardless of who wins the Autonomous Bonus. |
There are thirty-two (32) Balls on a VRC Change Up Field. Sixteen (16) Red and sixteen (16) Blue. There are also nine (9) Goals placed around the field.
Balls are to be Scored in Goals. Each scored Ball is worth 1 point for the corresponding Alliance color. The highest scored Ball in a Goal will be owned by the corresponding Alliance color. |
However, due to the circumstances of this year because of COVID-19, we aren't able to have a regular season where we can compete physically, so we competed in Remote Skills Tournaments.
Teams will compete in a Match lasting a maximum of sixty seconds (1:00) in an effort to score as many points as possible. These Matches consist of Driving Skills Matches, which will be entirely driver controlled, and Programming Skills Matches, which will be autonomous with no human interaction. Teams will be ranked based on their combined score in the two types of Matches. The playing field will have Field Elements setup exactly the same as a normal VEX Robotics Competition Change Up Match, however, the Balls will start as displayed in the left picture. Note: Only (15) of each colored Ball is used in a Robot Skills Match |
