There are two different alliance teams that start on opposite ends; Red and Blue alliances. Each team is going to have a robot start on the ramp or on the ground in a designated area. In the beginning of the match, each team has a chance of gaining points through autonomous mode. It's basically part of the 2 types of programming needed installed into the robots. The rest of the competitions depends on the actual 'Cascade Effect' which means knocking the stand in the middle to release the balls. Points can be obtained from placing balls into the 3 different height system or placing the tubes on the ramp. At the end of the match, teams could attempt to place BOTH their robots on the ramp to gain extra points.
