2021 GAMES - INFINITE RECHARGE (Virtual)
There are three INFINITE RECHARGE events for 2021:
Infinite Recharge at Home:
Infinite Recharge at Home invites teams to engage in two ways: compete for judged awards using their 2020/2021 robot and compete in a Skills Competition, a series of challenges for teams who have access to their robot.
Judged Awards: Teams describe their ROBOT’s technical qualities by sharing information with judges remotely to compete for traditional machine awards. While access to a team’s INFINITE RECHARGE ROBOT is not required, access to pictures, videos, or other representation is.
Skills Competition: Teams demonstrate what their ROBOTS and drivers can do in a Skills Competition inspired by the INFINITE RECHARGE game (See INFINITE RECHARGE Game Manual below). Scores are posted on the FRC Events Page, and teams virtually compete against each other.

Game Design Challenge:
The Game Design Challenge invites teams to design a FIRST Robotics Competition game and compete for judged awards and an opportunity to share their design with FIRST Robotics Competition game designers.
In addition to developing a game, each team that participates in the Game Design Challenge answers specific questions in their submission to be considered for awards and possible advancement. Teams may also include supplementary information with their submission and have the opportunity to elaborate on their game during an interview with FIRST Robotics Competition judges. Teams are expected to develop as complete a game as possible, at the same time creating a concise presentation for judges to evaluate.
