Tower Power was the 1994 game for the FIRST Robotics Competition.
The Playing Field was a carpeted regular dodecagon which measured 34 ft (10 m) across. The surface consists of a closed loop, low piled carpet. The perimeter of the field was defined by four-by-four boards. At the beginning of a match, there were 36 soccer balls (12 of each color: red, white or blue) arranged into 6 piles of 6 identical balls each. Each team was assigned a color and must collect only balls of their color during the game.
Robots
Each robot had to weigh no more than 65 lb (29 kg) and fit, unconstrained, inside a 36 in (914 mm) cylinder that was 30 in (762 mm) tall. The robots used six motors which were powered by a MAW 23 volt battery.
