2024 CHALLENGE
Crescendo is the 2024 FIRST Robotics Competition theme. Two competing alliances are invited to score notes, amplify their speaker, harmonize onstage, and take the spotlight. "Notes" are ring shaped objects that can be shot into the speaker and placed in the amp. When enough notes are placed in the amplifier, the speaker can finally reach it's loudest, giving even more points for every note scored temporarily. Finally, robots will race to climb the chain and trap a few more notes in their stage.
Each match begins with a 15-second autonomous period, during which time alliance robots operate only on pre-programmed instructions to score points by:
In the final 2 minutes and 15 seconds of the match, drivers take control of the robots and score points by:
The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match wins!
Each match begins with a 15-second autonomous period, during which time alliance robots operate only on pre-programmed instructions to score points by:
- leaving their starting area
- retrieving and scoring notes in their amp or speaker
In the final 2 minutes and 15 seconds of the match, drivers take control of the robots and score points by:
- continuing to retrieve and score notes into their amps and speakers
- climbing onto the chain and trapping more notes in their stage
The alliance with the highest score at the end of the match wins!
