2026 SEASON GAME

Core Gameplay: Fuel Frenzy
Robots collect and score “fuel” (game pieces) by tossing them into alliance-specific hubs. Human players also actively throw fuel to their hubs for bonus points, creating fast-paced action throughout the match.
Unique Auto & Teleop Mechanic
The robot scoring the most fuel during autonomous (and throughout teleop) from both alliances triggers a shutdown sequence –
that robot powers down briefly. Its two alliance partners activate and score fuel into the hub. They can collect more from alliance fuel boxes or the neutral collection zone. After seconds, the lead robot reactivates while partners shut down. Cycle repeats until match end.

End Game: Ladder Rush
Final 30 seconds: All robots race to climb ladders at different heights for ranking points—higher positions yield greater advantages heading into playoffs.
