The 2024 FIRST Robotics Competition game, Crescendo, challenges teams to design and build robots to perform tasks on a theatrical stage-themed field. Teams score points by placing game pieces called "notes" on vertical cores, with higher placements yielding more points. Additional points are earned through "Harmony," where multiple robots synchronize their actions, such as hanging from a single chain simultaneously. During the endgame, robots can score further by climbing and positioning themselves on specific field elements like chains and trusses. Teams must avoid penalties, as fouls and repeated infractions can significantly impact their overall score​
