Toss Up VEX Toss Up is played on a 12’x12’
square field. Two alliances – one “red” and one “blue”
Composed of one team each. Compete in matches consisting of a one
minute autonomous period followed by one minute of driver-controlled play.
![Page 10: Mission Statement To plan, strategize, construct and program robots. To compete with other college robotics teams. To raise interest and awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a798b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Playing the Game Each Robot begins a match on
one of their Alliance Starting Tiles.
There are areas that alliances can can Score Objects - Two (2) scoring Zones Two (2) Goals
Alliances also earn points for having Robots of their own color Hanging from their Hanging Bar at the end of the Match.
A Bonus is awarded to the Alliance that has the most total points at the end of the Autonomous Period.

In Their Own Words
“Why am I doing Robotics? Well, for the last few years, robotics has been a field that is becoming a more and more important field of study.” -AB

“Robotics involves a combination of math and computer science, and the concepts and applications of both.” -OM
![Page 24: Mission Statement To plan, strategize, construct and program robots. To compete with other college robotics teams. To raise interest and awareness](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a798b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“There’s something compelling in thrusting oneself in such an alien field, something that’s only increased when on a team where everyone has accountability.” -TD
