Galaxy Bot Battle Game Mechanics

Michael Goddard introduces the Galaxy Bot Battle game, explaining the setup, rules, and scoring. The game consists of two rounds: a 30-second autonomous round where robots operate based on pre-programmed instructions, and a 90-second driver-controlled round where students control robots via devices. Teams earn points by completing tasks like collecting laser blasts, rescuing a Lego figure, and firing proton torpedoes. The video emphasizes strategy, teamwork, and coordination between alliance partners to maximize points.
