A bizarre set of circumstances contributed to the formation of a localized rotating micro black hole. This disturbed the space-time continuum, and pieces from previous BEST games were trapped in the past on the other side of the black hole! The mission of our teams was to build a robot that would traverse the rotating black hole and rescue the displaced game pieces.
