FIRST Rapid React, is the FIRST Robotics Competition for the 2022 season. This game involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points. This game had a transportation theme, involving medium sized "cargo" balls which teams launched into either a high or low goal to score points. At the end of the match, teams traversed a climber rig, similar to monkey bars with 4 levels, earning them additional points.
