VRC Turning Point
About the Game:
Game Description:
In VRC Turning Point, points are scored by flipping caps to your color and placing them on posts, toggling flags to your color, and parking on platforms at the end of a match. A match starts with a 15 second autonomous period, where robots run pre-coded programs, without drivers. This is followed by a 1:45 driver control period.
