In REEFSCAPESM presented by Haas, two competing

alliances
are invited to score
coral
, harvest
algae
, and attach to the
barge
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
coral
on the
reef
, harvest
algae
from the
reef
, and collect and score additional
coral
.

During the remaining 2 minutes and 15 seconds,

drivers
control
their
robots
.
Robots
collect
coral
from human players at their
coral
station and score them on the
reef
. To unlock all scoring locations on the
reef
,
robots
must dislodge
algae
from the
reef
and either score it in the
barge
or deliver it to the human player through the
processor
.

A human player can then deliver the

algae
to the
barge
. If at least two
algae
are scored in the
processor
by each
alliance
, both
alliances
earn a Coopertition Point (which influences their rank in the tournament) and lowers the requirements for a ranking point.

As time runs out,

robots
prepare to return to the surface with their
algae
by grabbing onto their
cages
and parking under the
barge
.

The

alliance
that earns the most points wins the
match
!
