Introduction

In this Unit, you will learn how to play in the Team Freeze Tag competition with your robot! Watch the animation below to see an example of Team Freeze Tag in action. In this animation, there are two robots with the screen glowing green on a team in the left corners of the Field, and two robots with screens glowing blue on a team in the right corners of the Field. During the match the robots drive to try to tag each other to cause the tagged robot to freeze, and tallying a point for the team.
