Vyrotek is an unknown quantity at this point
PUSH n STACK

Check out the diagram BELOW, as you can see each 2 pairs of robots starts on their team side. Each team side as a area marked on the floor with their team color.

The objective is to push, pull, lift... whatever get those blocks somehow in your marked-off area. I threw in some ideas to have fun with such as a -5 point block ( UH OH ) and some +4 larger blocks. The -5 blocks would start out in your area so get it out and put it in THEIR zone! Get those point cubes and push or stack them in your ZONE!

I dont think this competition would rely on brute force as much as it would skill and strategy! Im still deciding on whether the blocks should count as points only if they are ALL THE WAY in the marked area or atleast SEMI part it. Maybe a mix between what kind of block it is.

Also any ideas on what the block could be made out of? I was thinking just plasitc cubes, it would be cheap to make and very easy to color. Perhaps even make them sponge cubes

* Got another idea, if you cant get cubes you could replace them with balls, same color and sizes as the cubes were but now the area that you need to get the balls into would be marked out by Half Inch PVC pipe around the border?! That way you could roll the balls in and they would stay there until someone came and knocked them out with some force.
