The Main attraction of 2019 IROC is the 2019 FRC game FIRST Destination: Deep SpaceSM
FIRST Destination: Deep Space is a space themed game which has players strategically placing a combination of cargo and hatch panels in either one of the two rocketships or the cargoship to score the most points. This year's game was particularly interesting because of the unique sandstorm period which blocks the drivers' view of the field for 15 seconds and allows for the robot to be controlled autonomously or driven with cameras. This new period replaced the standard autonomous period at the beginning of a match. Another interesting mechanic of this year's game was the necessity to place hatches before cargo. A hatch had to be scored on a cargo space before a cargo could be scored there creating an intriguing dynamic.
