Gameplay
The
One of the mission models, Play ball, straddles both fields in the center. 50 points are earned by the team whose color of ball is the center goal.[5] The touch penalty objects are balls colored red and blue; 8 exist of each color.[6] They are worth 5 points each (regardless of color) if they are on your side of the Play Ball basket, and worth 2 points if they are on your playing field.[5] Balls that are not in the basket are subject to the touch penalty and one is removed from your field each time the robot is touched outside of base.
