Field Layout
The playing field was carpeted and in a T shape. At the junction of the three sections was the goal area, which consisted of 3 ramps, a flat area on top, and a football style field goal. There were 36 and 24 inch balls to manipulate, in the colors of the teams.
Game Description
Three robots competed at a time. A team recieved 2 points for each time their small 24" ball was over the goal and 3 points for each time the large ball was over. The tiebreakers were the highest ball over the goal, and then the closest ball to the goal.

Strategies
The winning strategy was to continually pass the balls over the goal. Some teams could do this faster then the judges could count. This was the first and only year up until the 2006 game, Aim High, that teams scored points based on what happened in a match, as opposed to how things ended.
