DOC X – “DeKa DOC”

The Game- Aerial Assist

Aerial Assist was released in 2014 and 2720 teams competed in this game. The field consisted of two goals on each end and two small goals in the corners of each side of the field. In the middle of the track was a “trust” which is approximately five feet in height. The field is split into three segments, blue, white, and red. The objective was to get the alliance color balls into the goals on the wall of corresponding alliance. A ball in a low goal was 1 point while balls in high goal was 10 points. The game started with a 10 second autonomous mode. During autonomous, each ball scored during this mode got an additional 5 points but an extra 5 points was given if the ball was scored into an illuminated goal. Also during autonomous, if a robot traveled from the white zone into the alliance color zone got an additional five points. Human players place all balls into the field. If robots assist one another more points are earned. If robots throw balls over the “trust” adds 10 points and if an alliance partner catches this throw, 10 more points are added. Goalies can be present to block attempts to make goals.
