The object of the game is to collect Ore and put them onto the Boxcars. Using Crates, the alliance will be able to fill the Boxcars with more Ore.

Game:
Each Alliance has one free Crate they are allowed to place on any of their three Boxcars at the beginning of the game.
Each alliance starts with the control of 8 Ore. They are allowed to give each of their alliance robots two of them. (During the rest of the game, Robots are allowed to control/handle any number of Ore. (Ore are made of 16" diameter balls.)
During Automous Mode, robots are allowed to attempt to score Ore on their boxcars.
For the first minute and a half of the game, robots are allowed to remove Crates from opposing alliance's Boxcars. In the last 30 seconds of the game, no Crates may be removed. All though the game, Human Players may toss the remaining Ore the alliance is given to enter the Ore into the Field.
Points:
Alliances gain 1 point for each Ore scored inside on ontop of a Boxcar. (If a Boxcar has no crates on it, any Ore that happens to balance on the boxcar will count.)
Any Ore scored during Automous mode are worth 2 points.
Alliances gain no points from the crates they stack on their boxcars.
At the end of the game, Alliances should attempt to combine together their Boxcars. If after the end of the game, the three Boxcars are touching each other (anywhere on the track) the Alliance gains 6 points. Thats the same as 6 scored Ore.
