Into The Deep
2024-2025

Into The Deep, the FTC season game for 2024-2025. In this season points can be scored in all sorts of ways. Samples can be placed in a low, medium, or high basket or Speciments can be placed on the bars for even higher points. Just like last season, hanging is available, it can be done from either touching the low rung, or hanging on the low rung or the high rung. This season there are no randomized pieces in auto. This season there are a whole lot of changes to FTC.

Freight Frenzy
2021-2022

The FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition season for 2021-2022, named Freight Frenzy and presented by Raytheon Technologies, requires FTC teams to design, build, and program robots for a warehouse-themed challenge. In this game, teams can earn points by using small cube boxes, balls, and rubber ducks as scoring elements. The robots can transport cargo onto shipping hubs, deliver ducks from the carousel, and autonomously detect a duck or team prop to determine the level to place its cargo to earn bonus points.

Ultimate Goal
2020-2021

Ultimate Goal, the 2020-2021 FTC season, which is presented by Qualcomm. The game centers around a primary scoring element, which is a ring. These rings can be either placed or launched into goals to earn points in both the autonomous period and the driver-controlled period. Human players are responsible for returning rings to the field after they have been used during the autonomous period. During the last 30 seconds of the driver-controlled period, the end game takes place, where bonus points can be earned by knocking down power shots or returning a wabble goal to the start line.

Sky Stone
2019-2020

Sky Stone, the season of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), presented by Qualcomm, is a game where robots compete on a 12-foot square playing field and score points using stones as the main game element. During the 30-second autonomous period, robots can score points by parking, placing stones in their proper positions, and setting stones on the foundation, all without human intervention. In the driver-controlled period, robots can continue to stack stones onto the foundation. When the last 30 seconds of the game arrive, the end game begins, and robots can cap their stone towers with their team element. An alliance earns points for their capping, and each level of stone stacked after capping is done in the end game.


Season information

Rover Ruckus
2018-2019

The FIRST Tech Challenge game season of 2018-2019 is called Rover Ruckus presented by Qualcomm. In this game season, robots can earn points by using silver spheres and gold cubes. During the autonomous period, robots can earn points by landing on the game field, placing their team marker in the depot, moving the gold cube off its starting position, and parking. In the driver-controlled period, teams can earn points by placing objects in the required areas. They are also allowed to remove points from an audience's depot if it is not already claimed. The end game lasts for the last 30 seconds of the driver-controlled period, during which robots can score points by placing objects or by parking.
