Playing Robosoccer!

In this challenge, you will play soccer with your VEX V5 Speedbot along with any attachments you may have added to it. You will be controlling your robot controller using the Drive program on your V5 Robot Brain.
One person will referee the game and ensure each team follows the rules.

Challenge rules:

  • The ball should be placed in the center of the field at the start of each game and after each goal.
  • The robot must begin in front of your net.
  • Players must stand behind their own goal throughout the duration of the game.
  • Each game is 5 minutes long.
  • On smaller fields (3m x 3m or less), there should only be one player on each team. Teams can increase in size (2v2 or 3v3) for larger fields.
  • The ball must completely be in the goal for the point to count.
  • Each goal is worth 1 point.
  • After a goal is scored, each team's robot(s) must be returned to the front of their goal and both teams have to give a thumbs up to the referee to indicate they are ready to start the match.
  • The referee will start the game and stopwatch by saying "Go!" at the beginning of the game and after each goal.
  • The team with the most points at the end wins!
  • Have fun!
