2009 Game: Lunacy

2009 Game: Lunacy

Lunacy is a game played on a field known as the crater (illustrated in the figure 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 by placing the game pieces in the trailers hitched to the opposing alliance’s robots.

Playing Field

Scoring:

ALLIANCE scores are determined by the number of GAME PIECES in the opposing ALLIANCE TRAILERS.

Moon Rock

Each SCORED MOON ROCK is worth 2 points.

Empty Cell
Each SCORED EMPTY CELL is worth 2 points.

Super Cell
Each SCORED SUPER CELL is worth 15 points.

Scores are determined based on the state of the game piecesat the end of the match.
Scores will be assessed after all objects in motion when the arena timer displays zero seconds come to rest.
A. The final score of a match is the total of points assigned due to scored game pieces, less any assigned penalties.
B. If a trailer tips over, the points scored for that trailer at the time it was tipped will be preserved for the remainder of the match.
Minimum Scores - The minimum score is 0 (zero) points. Even after adjustment for penalties, there are no “negative scores.”

Match Format

A match is 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. An autonomous periodstarts each match in which the robots are controlled by pre-programmed instructions. The autonomous period is followed by the teleoperated period during which the pilots assume control of the robot. The robots continue to play the game until the teleoperated period is over.
