From the Manual: "FIRST STRONGHOLD is a medieval tower defender game in which two (2) ALLIANCES of three (3) Teams each select DEFENSES to fortify their OUTER WORKS before competing simultaneously to score points while BREACHING the opponent’s OUTER WORKS and CAPTURING the opponent’s TOWER."
Two strong offensive robots can breach and capture against weak to moderate defense. A third robot with a robust drive train and a smart drive team can prevent the opposition from doing the same, and finish by sprinting to challenge in the final seconds.
At its highest level, Stronghold will be like watching two football games played simultaneously on one field.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
