During the initial 15 seconds, autonomous robots navigate the arena according to pre-programmed code. Exiting the "Starting zone" grants 2 points. Scoring in this phase awards 2 points for a low-level goal and 5 points for a higher-level goal.

Autonomous Period:
Tele-op:
For the next 2 minutes and 15 seconds, operators control robots to score points by placing game pieces (notes) in goals. Team collaboration can unlock bonuses like "melody" or "ensemble."
Endgame:
In the final 20 seconds, robots aim to gather in the central area for points—entering the zone scores one point, and hanging on a chain above the robot yields three points.
