In REEFSCAPE presented by Haas, two alliances dive into an underwater-themed challenge focused on strengthening ocean habitats. With a limited match time, robots must strategically collect and place game pieces representing coral and other marine life to score points. The end game involves climbing on a Cage hanging from a barge by a chain, demanding innovative robot designs and collaborative strategies.
