4 Game Overview

image

In CRESCENDOSM presented by Haas, two competing

alliances
are invited to score
notes
, amplify their
speaker
, harmonize
onstage
, and take the
spotlight
before time runs out.
Alliances
earn additional rewards for meeting specific scoring thresholds and for cooperating with their opponents.

During the first 15 seconds of the

match
,
robots
are autonomous. Without guidance from their
drivers
,
robots
leave
their starting zone, score
notes
in their
speaker
or
amp
, and collect and score additional
notes
.

During the remaining 2 minutes and 15 seconds,

drivers
control
their
robots
.
Robots
collect
notes
from
human players
at their
source
and score them in their
amp
and
speaker
. Each time an
alliance
gets 2
notes
in their
amp
, the
human player
can amplify their
speaker
for 10 seconds.
Notes
scored in an
amplified
speaker
are worth more points than those scored in an unamplified
speaker
.

A

human player
may choose to repurpose a
note
scored in their
amp
in cooperation with their opponent. If each
alliance
repurposes a
note
by hitting their Coopertition button in the first 45 seconds of
teleop
, all teams in the
match
receive a Coopertition point (which influences their rank in the tournament), and the number of
notes
needed for the
melody
bonus is reduced.

As time runs out,

robots
race to get
onstage
and deliver
notes
to their
traps
. Harmonizing
robots
, i.e.
robots
sharing a chain, earn an added bonus.
Robots
earn even more points if a
human player
spotlights
robots
on a chain by scoring a
note
on the chain’s
microphone
.

The

alliance
that earns the most points wins the
match
!
