Options for defensive obstacles include a cheval de frise, a "moat", ramparts, a drawbridge, a sally port, a portcullis, a rock wall, and "rough terrain". Four of the five used obstacles are modular and can be moved, and certain obstacles may or may not be present during a match. The outer works is the series of five defensive obstacles that divide the neutral zone from the alliance sections and span the field. Each section contains a courtyard, an area for opposing teams to shoot boulders at the castle goals, a "secret passage" that allows human players to feed boulders to their robots from the human player station, the "outer works", and the tower. The playing field is divided into red and blue alliance sections, separated by a neutral zone that contains boulders. The broadcast was built around a parody of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, reflecting the "storming the castle" theme of FIRST Stronghold. The event was live-streamed on the Internet as well as being presented at regional kickoff events worldwide. The event was filmed at Searles Castle in Windham, New Hampshire and at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. The Kickoff event was held on January 9, 2016. This standard was a small flag (made out of paper, cloth, or other flexible materials) and held up with a support structure built by the teams. Each team was given the option to display a team standard above the team's driver station. The details of the game were revealed at the kickoff event on January 9, 2016.įor this competition, the driver stations were split between the tower, with two driver stations to its left and one driver station to its right. The name of the game was revealed on Octoin a video that was produced with Walt Disney Imagineering. Points were scored by crossing elements of the tower's outer works, shooting boulders into the opposing tower's five goals in order to lower the tower strength, and by surrounding and scaling the tower. The game was played by two alliances of up to three teams each, and involves breaching the opponents’ defenses, known as outer work as well as capturing their tower by first firing "boulders" (small foam balls) at it, and then surrounding or scaling the tower using a singular rung on the tower wall. FIRST Stronghold was the 2016 FIRST Robotics Competition game.
