2009 Season

The 2009 season game was called Lunacy. Robots had to be able to pick up and hold colored foam "moon rocks" and then place, dump, or launch them into opposing trailers that were attached to the back of each robot. Robots could also transport special foam balls called "empty cells" from one side of the field to the other, allowing the empty cell to become a super cell, and is worth significantly more points when scored into a trailer. What made this challenge interesting is that the floor was smooth plastic instead of carpet, and the wheels were smooth causing the robots to slide around on the field as if there were in a low gravity environment.
