'''Robotic Battlefield Control''' (or '''RBC''' for short) is a game developed as a part of the [[Robogames]] effort, loosely inspired by several videogames such as [http://www.leagueoflegends.com League of Legends] and [http://www.unrealtournament.com Unreal Tournament]'s ''Dominion mode''.

== Game Description ==

The participants are two identical robots, dubbed as ''RBC units'': one of these is autonomous, while the other one is remotely controlled by the player through an Android smartphone interface.

The game objective is to take and hold an area of the playfield, called ''strategic point''. This territory is "being hold" whenever one of the robots is in its immediate vicinities; for every second while one of the robots satisfy this condition, a counter is increased until a certain threshold (for example 60 seconds, or more) is reached. The first robot which is able to reach the threshold, wins. Note that if both robots are close to the strategic point, the area is being ''contended'', and neither of them will earn points towards the goal -- unless one of the robots has been disabled.

In fact, both robots are equipped with a (fictitious) rifle, and thus are able to shoot at each other. After a robot is hit several times, it shuts itself down for "autorepair" purposes for several seconds; once this operation is completed, it will reactivate itself at full health.

The arena where the game is set is filled with walls that act as visual obstacles, which can provide cover for guerrilla actions such as ambushes.
