Velocity Vortex!

Say hello to this year's FIRST Tech Challenge game: Velocity Vortex! This year teams will need to design a robot to manipulate both small softball-size "particles" (wiffle balls) and a large "cap ball" (small yoga balls). By analyzing the game and the point distribution, teams will need to decide whether they want to lift, launch, or push balls in order to score on this new field.
