Introduction

In this Unit, you will learn how to play Robot Soccer with your Clawbot! Robot Soccer is played in matches of two robots versus two robots. Your team will need to move a Buckyball through your opponent's goal to score! During this Unit, you will learn about various manipulators that can help your team to score more goals. Watch the animation below to see an example of Robot Soccer game play in action!

In this video, four Clawbots start on the field, with a robot one square away from each corner. Each team begins near their goal that is represented by a gap in the Field's walls. The two robots on the left are identified as the red team, while the two on the right are identified as the blue team. A timer counts down from 60 seconds as the robots drive around the field, attempting to move a red Buckyball to the opposing team's goal to score a point. The robots can push against the robots on the opposing team, trying to block them from scoring or take the Buckyball for themselves. The points are totaled for each team, and at the end of the match, the red team wins with 3 points to 1.

In the Robot Soccer competition, your robots will race to score goals!

• The team that scores the most goals during game play, wins!
• Each match is 60 seconds of playing time, and the timer is stopped after each goal while the Field is reset.
• You can modify your robot using any pieces in your EXP Kit.
