The season for 2022 is RAPID REACT presented by Boeing. Two alliances of three teams each must compete to score cargo balls into a lower and higher hub. Teams can also climb and traverse angled monkey bars. The first 15 seconds of the match are autonomous, while the remaining 2 minutes and 30 seconds are allotted for driver guidance. There are two special clauses for this season. The first is that there are special launch pads that protect the robot from coming in contact with another robot. The other clause is that robots can take in the opposing alliance balls, but shooting those will result in the opposing alliance to gain points.
