Because of the COVID Pandemic, all meets and qualifiers this year are done remotely. This is a process in which robots work to achieve a score without help or hindrance from other robots. Matches are played on a 8′ x 12′ field, either red or blue. We have chosen this year to play blue. Scores are entered locally by a designated judge and uploaded to a server at USFirst. League rankings are determined by the ten highest scored matches played. The league qualifier and state championship are done the same way, with 6 remote matches entered plus a Zoom meeting with a panel of judges.
