Destination: Deep Space, officially known as Destination: Deep Space Presented By The Boeing Company for sponsorship reasons is the FIRST Robotics Competition game for the 2019 season. It involves two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and performing specific tasks on a field to score points. The game has an outer space theme.[1]
Kickoff
The kickoff event will occur on January 5th, 2019. The event will be livestreamed from 10:30am ET, with many teams projected to attend their own local kickoff events.[2]
Field
Destination: Deep Space is played on a 27 ft (823 cm) by 54 ft (1646 cm) field that is covered in [color] carpet. The field is bounded by transparent polycarbonate guardrails on the longer sides and the Alliance Station walls on the shorter side.
Alliance Station
Each alliance has their own Alliance Station that is positioned at one of the ends of the field. The Alliance Station is where Drivers control their robots and Coaches give advice to their team members. At the beginning of the match, during the Autonomous Period, all alliance members must stay behind the Starting Line in the Alliance Stations.

Autonomous Period
The first 15 seconds of the match is the Autonomous Period, where robots act solely on pre-programmed instructions, therefore acting autonomously. Drivers, Coaches, and Human Players must stay behind the starting line throughout this period. Robots can earn points in a variety of ways.
Teleop Period
After the Autonomous Period ends, the Teleop (Tele-operated) Period begins, which lasts for 135 seconds. Drivers control their robot from their Driver Station and Human Players [whatever they do this year].
End Game
The last 30 seconds of the Teleop Period is called the End Game. During this time, robots can earn additional points by [whatever they do]
