2009 Game: Lunacy

Lunacy

Lunacy is a game played on a field known as the Crater. Two alliances, one red and one blue, composed of three FIRST Robotics Competition teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent by placing the game pieces in the trailers hitched to the opposing alliance's robots.

Moon Rocks, Fuel Cells, Super Cells While playing Lunacy, robots manipulate game pieces to accomplish the objectives of the game. The robots collect "Moon Rocks" and transport "Fuel Cells." There are two types of Fuel Cells: "Empty Cells," and "Super Cells." Each game piece is a 9-inch diameter round object, made of braided 1-inch wide strips of fabric-covered polymer. These objects are commercially available as "Orbit Balls."

Scoring

Each "Cell":
    2 Points for every Moon Rock placed in opponents trailer
    2 Points for every Empty Cell placed in opponents trailer
    15 Points for every Super Cell placed in opponents trailers

Note:

You must place a Empty Cell on the rack in your fueling station to unlock the Super Cell
Also the Super Cell may only be thrown during the last 20 seconds of any match otherwise a double penalty will declared
