Aerial Assist is played on a 27' by 54' field where 6 robots, 3 on each alliance, will compete to score as many points as possible. Each alliance has one yoga ball on the field at a time (one red ball and one blue ball on the field). Alliances are then tasked with passing the ball from one end of the field to the other, in order to score the ball into a goal to get points. Scoring in the high goals earns more points than scoring in the lower goals. Additional points can be made by tossing the ball over the 5ft tall truss or by passing the ball between each robot on the alliance. For more information watch the animation at right:

Lunacy is sort of like basketball (with moving baskets) on ice. There are two alliances, each consisting of 3 robots. The game is played on a 27' by 54' field covered with FRP, a fiberglass reinforced plastic that's typically used to cover walls. In combination with the competition wheels, the FRP created the experience of driving in 1/4 of the earth's gravity, in honor of the 40th anniversary of man's landing on the moon. During the 2 minute match the robots have to pick up and shoot the "moon rocks" in to the appropriate basket, in order to score the most points. Each robot is pulling the opposite alliance's scoring basket. For example if we're on the blue alliance, then the red alliance is trying to score into the trailer that we're pulling. In addition to the robots scoring, 3 human players from each alliance can throw balls into the field in attempt to score in the appropriate trailer.
