[edit] Field
The Playing Field was a carpeted 12 sided symmetrical polygon which measured 34 feet across. The surface consists of a closed loop, low piled carpet. The perimeter of the decagonal field was defined by four by four boards. At the beginning of a match, there were 36 soccer balls (12 of each color: red, white or blue) arranged into 6 piles of 6 identical balls each. Each team is assigned a color and must collect only balls of their color during the game.
[edit] Robots
Each robot had to weigh no more than 65 pounds and fit, unconstrained, inside a 36" cylinder that was 30" tall. The robots used six motors which were powered by a MAW 23-volt battery.
[edit] Scoring
In each match, the three teams compete to place the 12 balls of their team color inside either the high goal, worth 3 points per ball, or the low goal, worth one point per ball. The winner is the team with the team that has the highest total point value of soccer balls within the two goals at the end of the 2 minute match. In the case of a tie, the team with more balls in the upper goal wins.
