For experienced players: After setting up a race course and determining the first Priority player, each player (in priority order clockwise) may place their Energy Tracking Cube on 1 of the start spaces of the Docking Bay. Start spaces with cubes cannot be chosen as any robot’s starting space. This can prevent a robot from starting in a space with a clear advantage over other spaces. If using a pre-built race course from this rulebook, don’t place the cubes as shown; let the players place them. After this is done, only the black and white gear spaces without cubes may be chosen as starting spaces. Once all players have placed their robots onto the Docking Bay, players return their Energy Tracking Cubes to the “3” spaces on their Energy Tracks.
