Join our #STEMsquad and help launch our mission into the outer limits of the universe! The 2019 FIRST® Robotics Competition season, DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE Presented by The Boeing Company, is going to be a blast! Join in the fun – we look forward to welcoming you to our team.
To see the official game animation for the 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition game:
In DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE, Presented by The Boeing Company, we join two competing alliances collecting samples on planet Primus. Unpredictable terrain and weather patterns make remote robot operation essential to their mission on the planet. With only 2:30 until liftoff, the alliances must gather as many cargo pods as possible and prepare their spaceships before the next sandstorm arrives.
| 2:30: A sandstorm limits driver visibility so robots independently follow pre-programmed instructions or are operated by human drivers via video from their habitat. Alliances score points by: | 2:15: The sandstorm clears and human operators take control of their robots. Alliances continue to score points by: | 0:00: Rocket liftoff |
| 1. Deploying robots from habitat 2. Preparing rockets and cargo ship with hatch panels 3. Loading cargo pods into their rockets and cargo ship |
1.Preparing rockets and cargo ship with hatch panels 2. Loading more cargo pods 3. Returning the robot safely to the alliance’s habitat |
The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match wins. |
