ZzBot was designed to lift and drop Power-cubes, a 13x 13 x 11 inch milk create, onto the scale in center field, and onto the two switches located on either end of the field, In addition ZzBot can lift both alliance partners during end game to “face the boss”
Game:
FIRST Power Up involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points.
The game has a retro 8-bit theme and teams are required to place milk crates, or “power cubes”, on large balancing scales to tip the scale and gain ownership. Alliances can also trade power cubes for power-ups, giving them a temporary advantage in a match. At the end of the match, robots can climb the tower attached to the center balancing scale using a rung attached to the tower, giving them additional points.
