1999 - DOUBLE TROUBLE
Robot Name: Dark Phoenix
The 1999 game had teams compete with random allies in series of
qualification matches where all teams will be ranked. The top eight teams
then choose allies from the remaining teams and form eight alliances that
won’t be changed for the rest of the event. These eight alliances then
compete in a series of 3 elimination matches until an event winning alliance
emerges.
Four teams pair into 2 alliances and compete in a two-minute match. Each
alliance starts on the opposite end of the field. An octagonal disk (puck)
is placed in the center of the field and the robot are required to raise
multicolored pillows (floppies) off the ground for a point or 8 feet for 3
points. Also if a robot gets on the puck then the value of the floppies are
tripled.
