Half-Pipe Hustle

Half-Pipe Hustle was the first official FIRST Vex Challenge (FVC) game, taking place in 2005–2006.

During the autonomous period, teams' robots competed for 45 seconds without operator control, relying only upon sensor input and programming to score points.

In the operator control period, a triangular high goal was present at the center of the field.

Upon entering the match, all robots had to pass an inspection, and if modified immensely, must be reinspected.

To be parked on a white platform, a robot could not be touching the field's foam mats.
