Game Description

VEX IQ Mix & Match game field

VEX IQ Robotics Competition Mix & Match is played on a 6’ x 8’ rectangular field configured as seen below. Two robots compete in the Teamwork Challenge as an alliance in 60-second-long teamwork matches, working collaboratively to score points.

Teams also compete in the Robot Skills Challenge where one robot takes the field to score as many points as possible. These matches consist of Driving Skills Matches, which will be entirely driver controlled, and Autonomous Coding Skills Matches, which will be autonomous with limited human interaction.

Details

The scoring objects in VEX IQ Robotics Competition Rapid Relay are Pins and Beams.

The primary objectives of the game are to build Stacks out of Pins and Beams, and Place Stacks in Goals. Additional Pins are introduced to the Field by Drive Team Members at the Load Zone.

Points are awarded based on how many Pins and Beams are Connected, how many colors are included in each Stack, and for Stacks that match the color of the Goal.
