2022 Rules

MadTown Throwdown will be played under Rapid Reacts Game Manuel with the following modifications: 

  • No inspection, honor system on legality. +5 pounds weight allowance for repairs and minor modifications. All other FIRST robot rules apply.

Similarly, balls will continue to be scored at teleoperated point values for five seconds after the end of the teleoperated period.
  • Four-team alliances in the eliminations tournament.
    • Selection Order: 1-8, 8-1, 1-8
