infinite recharge– 2020/2021
Infinite Recharge was the FRC game for the 2020 season. However, this game will be replayed with possible changes in 2021. The game involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points. The game centers around a futuristic city theme involving two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to perform various tasks, including shooting foam balls known as Power Cells into high and low goals to activate a Shield Generator, manipulating a Control Panel to activate this shield, and returning to the Shield Generator to park or climb at the end of the match. The objective is to energize and activate the shield before the match ends and asteroids strike FIRST City, a futuristic city modeled after Star Wars. This season was the first season FRC held without an enforced 6 week build, with teams able to work on their robot any time after kickoff. (This new rule change was implemented to allow students to have more time to spend time with family, reduce stress, and have more time for homework and studying.)
Deep space– 2019
Destination Deep Space was the FRC game for the 2019 season. The game involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points. The game centers around an outer space theme involving two alliances consisting of three teams each competing to place poly-carbonate hatch panels and orange rubber balls or “cargo” on rockets and cargo ships before returning to their HAB platform at the end of the match. Teams had only 6 weeks to build a competition ready robot.
first Power up– 2018
FIRST Power Up was the FRC game for the 2018 season. The game involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points. The game has a retro 8-bit theme and teams are required to place milk crates, or "power cubes", on large balancing scales to tip the scale and gain ownership. Alliances can also trade power cubes for power ups, giving them a temporary advantage in a match. At the end of the match, robots can climb the tower attached to the centre balancing scale using a rung attached to the tower, giving them additional points. Teams had only 6 weeks to build a competition ready robot.
STEAMworks– 2017
FIRST STEAMworks was the FRC game for the 2017 season. The game two alliances of three individual teams and their robots compete on a field to score "match" point to win the game and ranking points to advance to playoff rounds. The game has a steampunk theme and teams are required to shoot wife balls which represent fuel into a simulated boiler which transfers the generated steam into an airship in the middle of the field. Each alliance has one airship, which they pressurize with steam from the boiler and load with plastic gears from the field. At the end of the match, robots can climb and hang on team-supplied ropes (or standard ropes supplied by FIRST) attached to the airship for additional points. Teams had only 6 weeks to build a competition ready robot.
