2007 Game: Rack and Roll

The 2007 game was called Rack and Roll. In it, two teams of 3 robots each would compete to place inner tubes onto a large "Spider" in the center of the arena. It is a rack with 3 rows of 8 arms each. By placing the tubes of the same colour next to each other in rows, more points were scored for the team. In addition, teams would get bonus points if their robots were raised off of the ground through the use of ramps or small elevators.

2006 Game: Aim High

The 2006 game, Aim High, involved 2 alliances of 3 robots each try to score goals with small balls. There was a goal high off the ground that gave you several points for scoring through it, and two ones on the ground on each side that gave less points. There were often several balls on the ground and thrown throughout the field, providing a lot of action. The game was different from the 2007 and 2008 game in that the teams switched between offense and defense modes as the game progressed. At the end of the game, teams would get bonus points if they could get their robots onto a ramp near the operating booth by the end of the match.

2005 Game: Triple Play

In triple play, alliances would try to score points by placing the game piece, a plastic tetrahedron called a "Tetra"on or into goals, capping the goals with three tetras, or bonus points by having all the robots in the end zone by the end of the game.
