2025: ReefScape

The challenge

Dive into the depths of innovation with the 2025 FIRST Robotics Competition challenge: ReefScape. In this underwater-themed game, teams navigate their robots through a dynamic oceanic arena, aiming to collect and strategically place "coral" and "kelp" game pieces to restore vibrant reef ecosystems. As the match concludes, alliances collaborate to position their robots on a "Floating Platform," balancing precariously to withstand the simulated ocean currents. This challenge not only tests engineering prowess but also raises awareness about marine conservation and the delicate balance of our aquatic environments.
