FIRST STRONGHOLD is played by two alliances of three teams each. Alliances compete against each other to breach their opponents’ defenses, known as outer works, and capture their tower. They score points by crossing elements of their opponents’ outer works, scoring boulders in their opponents’ tower goals, and surrounding and scaling their opponents’ tower itself.

The Match Includes:

A 15 second autonomous period in which robots can:
– Reach their opponent’s outer works
– Attempt to breach opponent defences
– Score boulders in the low or high goals
– Collect additional boulders from the middle of the field

After autonomous, Drivers control their robots from their driver stations for the remaining 135 seconds of the match, and are able to:
– Breach opponent defences
– Collect boulders from the secret passage
– Score boulders in the low or high goals
– Climb and capture the tower
