Field Where all the action happens

Missions The opportunities for the Robot to score points

Models All LEGO objects already on the Field when you get there

Equipment Everything the team brings to the field, including the Robot, jigs, and attachments

Basic Match Flow Teams bring their Equipment to the Field for inspection and setup/calibration After a countdown, Robots are Launched and given 2 ½ minutes to autonomously accomplish Missions Teams may Launch the Robot multiple times At the end of the match, teams must stop their Robots The referees will score the board with the team Only the final condition of the Field is evaluated for scoring At least three matches, though only the best counts

Field Components Mat – Includes the launch area and all Missions 12-inch height limit at launch Home – The entirety of your storage area All Equipment must remain in Home while not being used All Models starting in or brought Home must remain in Home while not being used Robot and cargo must be fully in home to interrupt it without penalty
