Ultimate Ascent is played on a 27′ by 54′ field. Two alliances of three robots each are positioned at opposite ends of the field touching the alliance’s colored pyramid. The robots attempt to shoot as many frisbees into their goals as possible. The game starts with a 15 second autonomous period. During this period, teams may not manually operate their robot, instead using preprogrammed instructions. Following this is a two minute teleoperated period, where drivers attempt to score as many points as possible. At the end of the match, robots attempt to climb the pyramids located on each side of the field. Climbing higher up results in more points.
