Game Summary
Streamline is played on an 8ft by 12ft carpeted field known as the city. The game is played with white foosballs, known as cargo, and soccer balls colored for each alliance, called smog. The match is played with two alliances, one red and one blue, consisting of two teams each. Before the match, teams can place their robots anywhere within the starting box marked with the alliances color.
The match begins with a 15 second autonomous period when robots can drive themselves using only pre-programmed instructions. During this period, robots can earn light mobility points by recognizing whether the street lights are illuminated and by stopping in the hot zone at the end of the period. Teams can load up to 3 units of cargo into their robots before the match begins. A team will be awarded 8 points for each piece of cargo scored in the low goal, and 10 points for cargo scored in the high goal. After the autonomous phase human drivers take control of their robots during the 2 minute teleoperated period. Human players enter cargo onto the field through chutes in the factory. A team will earn 4 points for each piece of cargo scored in the low goal. This year each team will have two human players. Once cargo is scored, it will be moved between human players to be entered back onto the field. Teams can also score cargo in the high goal, and will receive 6 points for each piece scored. At any time during the match, any robot can clear the smog. To do this teams must knock the smog off their alliance's smoke stack and place it into the filter. An alliance earns 60 points for clearing the first smoke stack and 80 points for the second. When time expires the points will be tallied and a winner will be determined.
