What is VEX Nothing But Net?

VEX Robotics Competition Nothing But Net is a robotics competition played on a 12’x12’ field. Two alliances, “red” and “blue”, compete in matches that include a fifteen second autonomous period followed by one minute and forty-five seconds of driver-controlled period.

The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing Alliance by Scoring your Balls and Bonus Balls in your Low and High Goals, and by Elevating Robots in your Climbing Zone.
