2014 - AERIAL ASSIST
In Aerial Assist, teams try to score as many balls into their goals as possible.

The higher the goal in which the disc is scored, the more points the alliance is given. The end game is to have robots scale pyramids located near the middle of the field.
2012 - REBOUND RUMBLE
Rebound Rumble is played by two, three-team alliances who compete to score the most basketballs into their respective hoops. The higher up a hoop in which the basketball is scored, the more points an alliance is given. The end game is to balance on a bridge in the middle of the field.
