[3] The game is part of the FIRST-wide FIRST Energize theme for the 2022-2023 season, which focuses on energy and sustainable development.

Additionally, on October 20, 2022, FIRST announced that the championship will be expanded to at least 600 teams in 8 divisions, making it the largest event in FRC history.

The Single Substations (part of the human player stations) on the long sides also feature a taller wall made of wire mesh panels.

Each Community includes a Grid where game pieces can be scored and a Charging Station that robots can drive onto and balance on during the autonomous period and towards the end of the match.

[7] Alliances can also earn points by placing game pieces on three adjacent Nodes in the same row, which is known as a Link.

Prior to the FIRST Championship, an alliance could earn the Sustainability Bonus ranking point (RP) by creating five links.

The post-Week 6 modifications also added rules to allow alliances to earn Supercharge points after filling their set of Grids.

Similar to the bridges in Rebound Rumble, the Charging Stations can be driven onto and balanced by robots in order to earn points in both the autonomous and teleoperated periods.

Additionally, alliances can earn the Activation Bonus RP by scoring at least 26 Charging Station points during the match.
