Competition Information

This year's FRC Challenge is Rebound Rumble. Rebound Rumble is played on a 54' by 27' field divided into two equal 27' by 27' section. Each section is divided by a small barrier with three equally spaced bridges. Each of two "teams" in Rebound Rumble is an alliance of three robots, making a total of six robots per game.

The goal in Rebound Rumble is to score points by launching game balls into any of the four baskets on your side of the field. Each robot starts with two basketballs during the 15-second autonomous period. After this autonomous period, the drivers take control for the remaining two minutes. More balls can be retrieved from a delivery station located on the opponent's side of the field. In the final 15 seconds of the match, robots can score additional points by driving onto the bridges in the middle and balancing them to within five degrees.
