Necessities of the game
Game balls ~ There are 2 balls on the field at any given time, one is the standard ball which will be reused game balls from the 2015-2016 game. The second is a ball that will be placed 1' towards the direction of the top or "home" spawn.
Scorers ~ Scorers will be on the outside of the field and located in the empty corners. They will keep score for the alliance scoring in the goal opposite to them.
Autonomous period
Driver control scoring
~Standard balls are worth 5 points separately. Bonus balls are worth 10.
~ The goal will be divided into 6 equal parts (not physically) with different boxes worth different things. The bottom 2 corners are worth 3 points. The middle two boxes are worth 5 points. And the 2 top corner boxes are 10 points which will be added in addition to the ball that scores in that box.
