1999 Rocket Race:  The Alien Escape!  Our Seminole year - 

 

Game Description

The 1999 BEST game is one of strategy, speed, and agility. The objective is to design and build a remotely controlled robot to move game pieces to one of four scoring areas. The game pieces represent the escape pods of alien beings that must be attached to a rocket that is nearing blast-off.  Four teams will compete at a time, and the team with the most points wins.
The Playing Field: The area nearest the rocket is a blast zone that will contain the heat and debris generated at launch. Each team has a safe zone, away from the rocket blast, that houses a life-support area, power grid, and pod rack. Machines can drive anywhere on the field, including other teams' safe zones.
