[3] Gameplay mainly consists of robots scoring foam rings, called Notes, into goals on their end of the field.

At the end of the match, the robots move to truss structures called Stages and climb on metal chains to earn additional points.

The two Amps on the long sides are connected to the alliance stations by a taller wall made of wire mesh panels.

At the end of the match, robots move to their Stage and climb chains to earn additional points.

Once the autonomous period ends, the a-stop expires and returns control of the robot to the team.

If both alliances score a Note in their Amp in the first 45 seconds of the teleoperated period, they can press another button to earn coopertition bonus.

Each Stage includes a six-sided Core suspended approximately 2.33 feet (0.71 m) above the carpet and three metal chains connected between the legs of the truss.

An alliance can also earn the Ensemble RP by scoring at least 10 Stage points while having at least two climbing robots.
