ALL FOUR HANG ­ There are two teams with two robots each on the playing field, working as allies. In this match, all four robots managed to hang from the bar in a tangle of metal.

TEAMWORK ­ Torin Volk and Chris Grimes worked together to coordinate the robot's arm, which picks up balls, and its steering mechanisms. (Kelly Kozlowski Photo)

COORDINATION ­ West High's robot, Hermes, hangs onto a large yellow ball that, when placed on top of a goal, doubles the value of the five-point purple balls in the goal. Here, in a qualifying round, West waits with the doubling ball after pushing the goal under a platform that drops the five point balls. (Kelly Kozlowski Photo)
