2013 Ultimate Ascent



Ultimate Ascent was the 2013 FRC Game.

Game Description
Ultimate Ascent is played by two competing alliances on a flat, 27 x 54 ft field. Each alliance consists of three robots. They compete to score as many discs into their goals as they can during a two (2)-minute and fifteen (15)-second match. The higher the goal in which the disc is scored, the more points the alliance receives. The match begins with a fifteen (15)-second Autonomous Period in which robots operate independently of driver inputs. Discs scored during this period are worth extra points. For the remainder of the match, drivers control robots and try to maximize their alliance score by scoring as many goals as possible. The match ends with robots attempting to climb on pyramids located near the middle of the field. The robot earns points based on how high it climbs. Scoring for the match is summarized below.

Field Description


Robots play Ultimate Ascent in an octagonal space known as the Field. During matches, robots are controlled from alliance stations located outside the ends of the field. Each alliance station consists of three player stations that provide connectivity between the controls used by the drivers and the robots. There are goals mounted along the entire length of the alliance station and on top of the pyramid.
