 As in past games, two alliances of three individual teams and their robots compete on a field to score "match" point to win the game and ranking points to advance to playoff rounds. The game has a steampunk theme and teams are required to shoot balls, representing fuel, into a simulated boiler which transfers the generated steam into an airship in the middle of the field.
