VEX IQ Robotics Competition Full Volume is played on a 6’x8’ rectangular Field, set up as illustrated in
the figures throughout this game manual.

The primary objective of the game is to place Blocks into Goals. Points are awarded based on the
number, type, and height of Blocks in each Goal. Points are also available for Clearing the Supply Zone,
and for Parking in the Supply Zone at the end of the Match.

In the Teamwork Challenge, an Alliance composed of two (2) Robots works together to score as many
points as possible in a sixty (60) second Match.

Teams may also compete in Robot Skills Matches, where one (1) Robot tries to score as many points as
possible. See Appendix B for more information.

Thank you for visiting the OCRC Webpage. The OCRC is a program of the Curriculum, Instruction and Academic
