In REEFSCAPE, two alliances of three teams each compete to restore their "Reef," manage "Algae" populations, and secure their robots on the "Barge."
The game emphasizes precision scoring, vertical integration, and cooperative gameplay mechanics to conserve the coral reef ecosystem.
White, 12-inch PVC torus shapes representing coral branches. These are the primary scoring objects placed onto the Reef to restore the ecosystem.
Green, 16-inch rubber balls representing invasive algae. Robots must remove these from the Reef to clear scoring branches and can score them into the Net or Processor.
The central hub of the alliance's scoring area is the hexagonal Reef. Robots must place Coral onto branches located at various heights and angles. Higher levels yield more points.
In the final 20 seconds, alliances race to the Barge to hang their robots.
