2023 Season

Charged Up

Get Fully Charged

In CHARGED UP presented by Haas, FIRST® Robotics Competition teams are inspired to see the potential of energy storage in a new light as they compete to charge up their communities. Watch the game animation to spark game-play ideas. 

Teams are tasked with collecting and placing cones and inflatable cubes during the majority of the game. At the end of the match, teams get on their 'charge stations' and balance for bonus points.
