Clean Sweep is played on a
12'x12' square field configured as
seen
above. Two alliances - one "red" and one "blue" - composed of two teams
each, compete in matches consisting of a twenty-second autonomous
period followed by two minutes of driver-controlled play.
The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent's
alliance by moving as many balls as possible onto their side of the
field and by "locking up" small balls in the triangular goals.
A bonus is awarded to the alliance that has the most total points at
the end of the Autonomous Period.
There are a total of fifty (50) small balls, twenty-one (21) medium
balls and two (2) large balls available as scoring objects in the game.
The field is divided down the center by an 11.5" tall lexan wall. This
wall separates the two alliances of two robots onto opposite sides of
the field. Each robot (no larger than 18"x18"x18" to start) begins a
match on their side of the field touching the wall furthest from the
center wall. There are four 18" high triangular goals attached to the
wall which robots can place small balls into. There are two slots in
the wall which robots can pass small balls through.
At the start of the match small & medium balls are positioned
on the center wall, and around the field. Each alliance will have one
large ball which must be introduced to the match with less than thirty
seconds remaining.
