2023 - Charged Up

Charged Up is the game for the 2023 FIRST Robotics Competition. The game is themed around two alliances of three teams each who compete to bring energy to their community. Robots retrieve cones and cubes from substations, score them on the grid, and balance themselves on the charge station.
