Robots collect fuel (balls) and score it in their boiler via high and low-efficiency goals. Boilers turn fuel into steam pressure which is stored in the steam tank on their airship. Robots can also deliver gears to pilots on their airship for installation. Once the gear train is complete, human players turn the crank to start the rotor. At the end of the match, robots can latch on to their airship before launch (the end of the match) by ascending their ropes to signal that they’re ready for takeoff.
