This is completely different from anything we’ve seen in VRC before, and even FTC/FRC.
It does remind me of FTC games, with the high level of complexity and the color-detection that FTC always seems to have. I’m a bit disappointed that Vex has decided to go away from the trend of simpler, “high ceiling” games for VRC.

Under <T01> is
a. The referees will not review any photo or video Match recordings
I’m not sure anything is actually different about this compared to prior years.
Reffing in this game might actually be more of a nightmare than In The Zone. The expansion zone is going to be rough for many teams please be aware of it going into the year.
One thing that I find odd is that balls that exit the field are not returned. Those flags are right at the edge of the field and teams are going to miss A LOT. I’m imaging teams that just shoot all the balls out of the field on purpose so the opponents can’t even change the flags. What do you all think?
EDIT: I can’t read and didn’t notice that there’s a giant net there. In the video I thought that the net was just the black curtain that makes up the filming “room”.
I think this is pretty cool! The balls don’t seem to do enough tho, or should be able to score them somehow. I’ve already purchased the game pieces online, and am looking forward to my first hs robotics game! =]
