The finals matches are set up exactly the same as the qualifying matches. The only difference is that there are two alliances, playing at different times, trying to beat each other's score.

After the qualifying rounds, the top 8 seeds will automatically be paired to become 4 alliances, then each alliance take turn choosing 3 other robot as their partners.

And the match will be the same, 4 robot on the field, and one spare robot on the side. But in the finals, the alliance will stay the same all the time, instead of getting new ones like qualifying rounds.

So the game will be the same... one bridge, 4 robot, 40 balls, 2 goals. Pretty much you just have to do your best in the finals and hope to beat other score.
