2023 CHARGED UP

In CHARGED UP presented by Haas, two alliances competed to charge up their community. With just 2:30 on the match clock, robots had to retrieve and place inflatable Cubes and Cones onto a grid to score points. The end game introduced an electrifying challenge as robots could attempt to dock with and engage their Charging Station for significant bonus points, requiring careful balancing and coordination.
