Capture The Can


The Field
Against the openents wall are 5 rollable garbage cans
one of which is a 2x
In the center of the field is a series of 6 fixed cans (2x3)
all of which are 2x
the 3 on the opponents side belong to the allience
each of these have a green light attatched to them
to denote the active goal
above the immovable goals are 2 bins of balls (see 2004)

The Robot
no mirrored objects can be used.
no cameras can relay video feeds.

The Game:

2 min teleoperated (no autonomous or hybrid period)

robots start in front of the opponents immovable goal

15 seconds into the match the balls are dumped to
either side of the immovable goal

teams try to fill their bins with balls,
balls in bins in the allience's home zone at the end
of the match get scored.
balls in the allience's active goal are scored.

at the beginning of the match the front of the active goal will be lit up,
the driver will not be able to see which goal is active, so this will require
the robot to autonomously determine which goal is active.

Scoring
5 points for each ball in a bin which is in a home zone at the end of the game
5 extra points for each ball in a 2x bin in the home zone at the end of the game
10 points for each ball in the active immovable goal
15 points for all-hybrid robots (only robocoach)
30 points for all autonomous robots (no drivers or robocoach)
