STORM 2027
Loose Cannons
MARCH 2027 · NORMAN, OK
A flash flood has swallowed the region and never receded. What was dry land is now open water - and it's full of pirates. Each team builds a teleoperated Robot armed with a cannon, taking aim at the enemy's rudder, hull, and masts. As the match clock runs down, both crews scramble to finish the job and climb aboard the enemy Ship before the currents sweep them away.
- Destroy opposing ships by shooting cannon balls at weak points
- Navigate through rough waters
- Board the opposing teams ship before incoming severe storms cause problems
