Game Field Description

The

field is comprised of three Zones: The No-Entry Zone, the Hot Zone, and the Cold Zone.

The No-Entry Zone is where the flames are located.The Hot Zone surrounds the No-Entry Zone, and is divided into 4 smaller areas, each of which is only accessible by one team (Green, Red, Blue, Yellow). The Cold Zone surrounds the Hot Zone and is accessible by all four teams.

No-Entry Zone Details

The No-Entry Zone is the 6’x6’x5’ structure in the middle of the field and is the origin point of the fire.

Robots will not be allowed to enter – or even reach into – the No-Entry Zone.

The No-Entry Zone is divided into four sections by Shields made from window screen. The fire is concentrated in three areas called Shelves (Top, Middle, and Bottom).

Flames are located on the shelves in stacks of three.

Robots may access “recycled Water” by opening the Water Return. Slide6

The Hot Zone is the 3’ wide area surrounding the No-Entry Zone. It is divided by walls into four smaller areas, accessible by one team (Green, Red, Blue, or Yellow).

Manny the Manikin is lying on the ground in the left side of each Hot Zone. His exact position is somewhat random.

There are three Chemical Drums in the right side of each Hot Zone, stacked in pyramid formation. The Drums have different amounts of Chemicals inside, which alters their weight, but not their outward appearance

.

The Cold Zone is the 6’ wide area surrounding the Hot Zone. All robots are allowed all the way around the Cold Zone, except inside other teams’ Starting Boxes.

This area contains the Starting Boxes, and the Containment Areas. The Containment Area is box located in the corner of the field and is the scoring position for the Chemical Drums.

The Rescue Timer Button is located on a square platform on the right side of the Spotter Box. The Water Hydrant is a 2-gallon bucket, located on the left side of the Spotter Box, beyond the Stretcher.
