Deep Space Summary
In Deep Space, A sandstorm limits driver visibility so robots independently follow pre-programmed instructions or are operated by human drivers via video from their habitat. Alliances score points by deploying robots from habitat, preparing rockets and cargo ship with hatch panels, and loading cargo pods into their rockets and cargo ship. The sandstorm clears and human operators take control of their robots. Alliances continue to score points by preparing rockets and cargo ship with hatch panels, loading more cargo pods, and returning the robot safely to the alliance’s habitat.
