The theme of this game is archaeology. Teams pick up artifacts from preset locations on the field, or from the human player zone and shoot them into the goals. Teams can get bonus points if they can score the motif pattern, or at endgame if 2 bots can both full park. Our favorite element from this years game was the artifacts.
