 The Gateway Robotics Challenge will use the MOST RECENTLY UPDATED 2025 Reefscape Game Rules 

except for Team Update 21.

We will be using the following 

Regional Ranking point thresholds:

CORAL RP - 5 CORAL scored on each level (If Coopertition is achieved, at least 5 CORAL must be scored on each of 3 levels).

BARGE RP - At least 14 BARGE points are scored

- RULE MODIFICATION CLARIFICATION -

10/3/2025

Additionally, we will be modifying section 6.2 Drive Team

to allow for additional Human Players. 

If an alliance has less than 4 Human Players, Student Technician(s) can serve as additional Human Player(s).

The intent of this rule change is to allow each team the ability to load their own robot and still have 1 Human Player per Alliance at the Processor.
