The game of Rebound Rumble creates a scenario in which robots must play a game of basketball and can receive bonus points by balancing robots on a bridge. First, robots are allowed to begin in either "Hybrid Mode" in which the robot can be controlled by a player on the side of the arena, using the revolutionary, Xbox Kinect or simply controlled by an autonomous program for 15 seconds.
The goal of the game is for an Alliance of 3 teams each to shoot the most FIRST basketballs into hoops placed at the end of the arena. "The balls scored in higher hoops score Alliances more points." Also, bonus points are rewarded to teams that are able to balance on a bridge and an opponent Alliances can work together to balance on the white bridge to receive additional valuable seeding points. Thus, the Alliance with the most points, win.
