General Info
This is a low-key, super fun scrimmage to wrap up the season. We will be playing FIVE games!!!
A regulation game of "Full Volume" will be available on one field and each team can have up to 3 Driver Skills turns and 3 Coding Skills turns.
The real challenge will also be offering half-field versions of four previous games: Slapshot, Pitching In, Squared Away, and Next Level. What bot can you create to score in all of those the games? Paper judging will be used to crown a Pentathlon winner!
This is a postseason scrimmage availalble as an alternative to Worlds. Bring what you have! Modify this year's or previous Herobots, or a Clawbot, or heck a Basebot! Don't stress, this is an end-of-year scrimmage, bots don't need to be perfect - let's just have fun!
