'''Hot Shot!''' is the [[robotics]] competition event in the 2009-2010 [[FIRST Tech Challenge]]. Two teams compete to score points by depositing whiffle balls into designated areas.
==The Game==
HotShot! is played on a 12’x12’ square field with two off-field scoring goals as shown on the diagram above. Two alliances – one “red” and one “blue” – composed of two teams each, compete in matches consisting of a 30-second autonomous period followed by a two-minute driver-controlled period. The object of the game is to score more points than your opponent’s alliance. Points are earned by releasing the balls from the Ball Chutes in autonomous mode, by shooting balls into the goals in the center of the field (high or low) in both autonomous and driver-controlled periods, and shooting balls into the off-field goals during the last 30 seconds of the match. Balls scored in the autonomous period will be counted once at the end of the autonomous period and again at the end of the driver-controlled period, if they remain in the goal.<ref>FIRST FTC 2009 - Game (Current Rev 5 - 10/06/09), [http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FTC/FTC_Documents_and_Updates/2009_Hot_Shots/2009_FTC_Game_Manual_Complete-Rev5.pdf], accessed 11/1/2009</ref>


===The Details===
==Game Overview==
===Field Description===
There are a total of seventy-six (76), 2.875-inch diameter, plastic balls available at the start of the match. Eight balls are given to each alliance to pre-load onto their robots in any way they choose. Sixty balls are loaded into Ball Chutes at the corners of the field – fifteen per chute. One Bonus Ball is available to each team, but may only be introduced onto the field in the last thirty seconds of the match. Each robot will start on the field in assigned starting positions and will have to trigger a mechanism to release the balls located in the Ball Chutes.
Hot Shot! is played by four robots on a 12 foot by 12 foot field. Robots are paired together to form red and blue alliances<ref>{{cite web|title=SC State Prepares for the 5th Annual FIRST Tech Robotics Competition: "Hot Shot"|url=http://www.scsu.edu/event_details.aspx?event_id=430|publisher=South Carolina State University|accessdate=26 December 2011|date=5 December 2009}}</ref> of two teams each. Each alliance starts on a different side of the field, in spots designated by red and blue taped off squares.
There are 3 goal areas, the low goal, the high goal, and the off field goal. The low goal and the high goal are centered on the field. The high goal has a pivot bar that allows it to be spun by a robot contacting the spin bar. The off field goal is four feet from the field.
There are ball dispensers made out of PVC pipe, full of balls, at each corner of the field. There is a wooden deflector beneath each of the dispensers, angled toward the center of the field that makes the balls roll in different directions. The balls are released from the chutes by a pivoting trigger.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hot Shot game description|url=http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FTC/FTC_Documents_and_Updates/2009_Hot_Shots/2009_Game_Desc-1pg_%20final.pdf|publisher=FIRST|accessdate=5 June 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606161603/http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FTC/FTC_Documents_and_Updates/2009_Hot_Shots/2009_Game_Desc-1pg_%20final.pdf|archivedate=6 June 2011}}</ref>


===Round Timing===
The center scoring area has two goals – a low goal and a high goal that spins around. The low goal is the base for the high goal and is divided into a red side and a blue side. The high goal is a basket-like structure with a 9-inch diameter hole into which balls are scored. Each basket is identified by a red or blue goal face. The bottom of the hole is 30 inches from the field mat and there is an Infrared beacon and a 3-inch color panel below the hole that can be used by the robots for targeting. The off-field scoring goals are two baskets that measure 15”w x 23”d x 15”h and are placed 4 feet away from the front side of the playing field. Balls can be shot into these goals only in the last 30 seconds of the match.<ref>FIRST FTC 2009 - Details (Current Rev 5 - 10/06/09), [http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FTC/FTC_Documents_and_Updates/2009_Hot_Shots/2009_FTC_Game_Manual_Complete-Rev5.pdf], accessed 11/1/2009</ref>
Each round lasts two and a half minutes. The first 30 seconds are composed of an autonomous period, where the robots are controlled completely by a program on the [[Lego Mindstorms NXT|NXT]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=first-ftc-robot-competition|title=Finding the Top Bot: High School Students (and Their Robots) Take the Prize at Tech Challenge|publisher=[[Scientific American]]|accessdate=2010-03-17}}</ref> The next 2 minutes are a "Teleop," or remote controlled period where the robots are controlled remotely through the Bluetooth on the NXT.

Hot Shot! is the robotics competition event in the 2009-2010 FIRST Tech Challenge. Two teams compete to score points by depositing whiffle balls into designated areas.

Game Overview

[edit]

Field Description

[edit]

Hot Shot! is played by four robots on a 12 foot by 12 foot field. Robots are paired together to form red and blue alliances[3] of two teams each. Each alliance starts on a different side of the field, in spots designated by red and blue taped off squares. There are 3 goal areas, the low goal, the high goal, and the off field goal. The low goal and the high goal are centered on the field. The high goal has a pivot bar that allows it to be spun by a robot contacting the spin bar. The off field goal is four feet from the field. There are ball dispensers made out of PVC pipe, full of balls, at each corner of the field. There is a wooden deflector beneath each of the dispensers, angled toward the center of the field that makes the balls roll in different directions. The balls are released from the chutes by a pivoting trigger.[4]

Round Timing

[edit]

Each round lasts two and a half minutes. The first 30 seconds are composed of an autonomous period, where the robots are controlled completely by a program on the NXT.[5] The next 2 minutes are a "Teleop," or remote controlled period where the robots are controlled remotely through the Bluetooth on the NXT. The last 30 seconds of the teleop period are known as the end game.

Scoring

[edit]

The off field goal can only be scored in during the end game. The following points are awarded for normal white balls in each of the corresponding goals:

Goal Points
Low Goal 1
High Goal 5
Off Field Goal 10

Yellow curve balls double the score in the goal that they are scored in. They can be released by the team captain during the end game.
