2013 FIRST Robotics Competition
is played by two competing alliances on a
flat, 27 x 54 foot field. Each
Alliance consists of three robots,
and they compete to score as
many discs into their goals as
they can during a two (2)-minute
and fifteen (15)-second match.
The higher the goal in which the
disc is scored, the more points
the Alliance receives.
The match begins with a fifteen (15)-second Autonomous Period in which robots
operate independently of driver inputs. Discs scored during this period are worth
additional points. For the remainder of the match, drivers control robots and try to
maximize their alliance score by scoring as many goals as possible.
The match ends with robots attempting to climb up pyramids located near the middle of
the field. Each robot earns points based on how high it climbed by the end of the match. Scoring for the match is summarized below.
