Robotics 2023-2024
The theme for the 2024 competition is the role STEM plays in creating art and experiences that bring us together, entertain us, and move us. The 2024 game, CRESCENDO, launched on January 6 and will see two competing alliances race to score musical notes with their robots, amplify their speaker, harmonize onstage, and take the spotlight before time runs out.
The field is divided in half by a white line, with each half including an alliance’s Wing, Stage Zone, and Amp Zone and the other alliance’s Source Zone. Alliances work to score Notes at their Speaker, located on the left side of their opponent’s alliance station. Robots can also score Notes at their Amp on their side of the field. At the end of the match, robots move to their Stage and climb chains to earn additional points.
The only game piece in Crescendo is the Note. Notes are orange foam tori with a 10 inches (254 mm) inside diameter and 14 inches (356 mm) outside diameter with a thickness of 2 inches (50.8 mm). High Notes are a variety of Note and are marked by three equidistant pieces of white tape wrapped around the torus.
