Field Layout

In Zone Zeal the field was split up in to 5 Zones. Closest to the drivers station was the Home Zone. Next was the opponents scoring zone. Then a neutral zone where the 3 rolling goals started. Next was your scoring zone, followed by the opponents home zone. The rolling goals were hexagonal about 36" across and about 5' tall. The sides of the goal were PVC pipe from about 18" on up and in the center was a larger PVC pipe. The goals could be filled with 8" soccer balls that were located along the wall (20 per side) in the center of the field.

Game Description

Ten points were awarded for placing the a goal in your scoring zone. 1 point for each ball in a goal that was in your scoring zone or in the opponents home zone. And 10 points for each robot touching your home zone. A popular design this year was the use of measuring tapes to slide back and touch your home zone.

Tournament Structure

For seeding matches the winning alliance was awarded qualifying points equal to 3 times the losing alliances score. Mean that if an alliance was completely shut out in a seeding match the winning alliance would receive no qualifying points.

During the elimination matches the it was a best of 3 three set. So elimination match often became a tug of war battle to try and score the rolling goals.
