High Stakes
A ring-scoring game built around corner control and endgame climbing.
In High Stakes, robots score rings onto stakes placed around the field, with higher-value opportunities created by controlling corners and building scoring positions that are difficult for opponents to undo.
The end of each match adds a climbing challenge, so teams have to balance fast ring handling, defensive awareness, and a reliable final climb under time pressure.
