2005 Triple Play



Triple Play was the FRC game for 2005.

Game Description
Triple Play is played on a field initially set up as illustrated in the figures below. Two alliances – one “red” and one “blue” – composed of three teams each compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent alliance by placing tetras on or into goals, getting three goals in a row capped with tetras, and/or having all three robots on an alliance in their end zone at the end of the match.

Scoring
Scoring is allotted as follows:
 * A tetra is worth 1 point if contained in any GOAL and 3 points if stacked on any GOAL at the end of the match, for the alliance of the corresponding color.
 * Any row of three goals owned by the same alliance at the conclusion of the match is worth 10 points for the alliance. There are eight possible rows.
 * All three robots of the same alliance in their designated end zone at the conclusion of a match is worth 10 points to the alliance.

Field Description


Triply Play is played on a 54 by 27 ft field. Game pieces are called "tetras" - basically 3D tetrahedral shapes. From the sides of the field, human players can load tetras onto the robots. Alongside each of the alliance station walls are three tetra goals. In the center of the field lay three center goals which are elevated slightly higher than the regular goals.
