APRA CATEGORIES
SAM LABS BASED CHALLENGE (AGE 6-10)
Mission - Blizzard Bastion
When a freak blizzard buries the Twin Castles, the only way to survive is to "share" the trouble. The Kings have commanded: every giant snowball that falls must be sent to the other side immediately.
In the "Great Snowball Swap," you must pilot your robot car to clear your zone of all icy obstacles. Navigate the treacherous central bridge and return these "Chilly Gifts" to your opponent. Only the fastest defenders with the cleanest courtyards will claim victory in this winter face-off.
Key Objectives: Clear the territory, Cross the bridge, Defend the Castle.
LEGO® BASED CHALLENGE (AGE 9 -13 / 13 - 18)
Relay Mission - Sonic Strider
The Resonance Protocol A digital silence has swept the globe. To bring back the music, the APRA Alliance has deployed the Sonic Striders. Pilot your unit across the Great Staff—a treacherous path of frequencies—to deliver the Melody Element. Precision is everything: synchronize with the beat of the land to restore the world's harmony.
Objective: Cross the soundscape. Secure the Element. Save the rhythm.
