The Game
In Pinnacle, robots navigate a 12’x12’ field to collect and stack pins and cups onto goals, turn rollers, and maximize their score with specific orientations of pins, cups, and rollers. Robots can push, lift, rotate, stack, spin, or plow pins and cups, but must follow the rules of each specific match type.
In some matches, team members drive the robot. In others, the robot drives itself based on pre-programmed code written by the students. Not every robot and team will play the game the same way, and there are some ways to score that are easier than others. Your strategies, and your robot, may change over time. As long as you follow the rules in this game manual and the official RECF Achieve Q&A, you can play the game however you like!
