Rack ’n' Roll is a game played on a field as illustrated in the figure below. Two ALLIANCES, one red and one blue, composed of three teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent ALLIANCE by placing toroidal GAME PIECES (i.e. swimming pool inner tubes) on the central goal structure (the RACK), and/or by having ROBOTS in their HOME ZONE and not in contact with the playing field at the end of the match. |
