Team Fusion 364| Breakaway

SUMMARY:

On a 27'x 54' field, six teams compete to score soccer balls in their goals. Two bumps separate the playing field evenly. The robots may either go over these bumps or may choose to travel through the tunnel positioned within the bump. The teams are divided up in two alliances (three teams on each alliance) and compete against each other.
