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.
