The 2017 FRC game, Steamworks, had teams of robots prepare an airship for takeoff by scoring gears and fuel. Robots placed gears on rotors to activate them and shot fuel into the boiler to increase steam pressure. In the endgame, robots climbed a rope to score additional points. Success required balancing the placement of gears, fuel scoring, and efficient collaboration with alliance partners. The game emphasized strategic gear placement, fuel shooting, and climbing to maximize points.
