Pay Dirt placed teams in a mine scenario in which robots were tasked with collecting various minerals and sorting them into bins. Robots used many types of manipulators and cargo containers to collect and transport the game pieces. This game put an economical spin to harvesting natural resources, as market shift changed the value of the minerals throughout the season based on how much was “mined.”  The objective was efficiently harvesting the most valuable resources to score the most points.
