January 9, 2016 PWNAGE attended the FIRST FRC reveal Kickoff at Illinois Institute of Technology. Together with other FRC teams PWNAGE accepted the FIRST Stronghold challenge.
FIRST Stronghold is the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competition game.[3] The game is played by two alliances of three teams each, and involves breaching the opponents’ defenses, known as outer works, and capturing their tower by first firing "boulders" (small foam balls) at it and then scaling the tower using rungs. Points are scored by crossing elements of the tower's outer works, shooting boulders into the opposing tower's five goals in order to lower the tower strength, and by surrounding and scaling the tower.[4]
The name of the game was revealed on October 14, 2015 in a video that was produced with Walt Disney Imagineering.[5]
This year, the driver stations are split with two driver stations on the left and one driver station on the right of the tower. Each team has the option to display a team standard above the team's driver station.[4
This is going to be a competitive game this year. PWNAGE has accepted the challenge and building season has begun. Follow Team PWNAGE this season to see how they will meet the FIRST Stronghold challenge.
