welcome the 2014 first robotics competition at this year's game aerial assist aerial assist is played on a proximately 25 by 54 ft feel alliances of three teams each operate their robots from behind Alliance walls ends of the field too large scoring goals I located at the top of each Alliance wall above the driver stations to smaller scoring goals are at the four corners of the alliance wall the center of the field is spanned by the trust which is approximately 5 ft above the floor to feel the segmented in the equal sides owns Red White and Blue additional goalie zones are at the ends of the field between the pairs of low goals aerial assist is played with 2ft diameter exercise balls colored red and blue to match the corresponding Alliance jective of aerial assist is for teens on an alliance and work together to advance the ball down the field and score into their Alliance goals at the far end of the a ball scored in a local turns 1.0 ball scored in a high goal turns 10 points robot the sister Alliance when scoring will earn big bonuses the match begins with each robot starting in the white zone or a goalie Zone robot can be pre-loaded with one Game Vault a 10-second autonomous. Starts the match during this. Robots used pre-programmed instructions 8Ball scored during autonomous. Burns of 5 point bonus one set of goals will be lit up and hot during each half of the economist. Each ball scored in a hot goal gets an extra 5 point bonus and every robot that moves from the Center Whitestone into their own Zone during autonomous gets another five point at the end of this period human drivers stepped forward to take the controls as a teleoperated. Starts teams Commander robots score as quickly as possible scoring cycle starts as a human player transfers of all onto the field  robots can just take the ball and directly to the other end of the field to earn the basic goal scorer  but receiving assistance from your partners and moving the ball down the field will add when is points  alliances that use all three robots to assist the ball through all three zones turn the most points  throwing the ball over the Trust on the way to ask or will add a 10-point Lonas and having your alliance partner catch the toss will add another 10 points of course robots will have to be built robust to avoid damage bowling balls meanwhile one robot in a goalie Zone can extend upwards to block shots and defend the goals alliances try to score as many places they can during the two-and-a-half-minute match  good luck and we'll see you at the competition
