Sea-Saw Splash is the official 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition game.

The game is played on a 24' x 54' pivoting see-saw over a 10' x 30' x 60' tank of water. Scoring consists of 1500 golf-ball sized game pieces scattered randomly at the start of Autonomous Mode. Each robot must place game pieces in 30" x 40" x 20" goals (shaped like recycling receptacles) resting 12' high on the opposite side of the team's starting position. Like previous games, each alliance (blue and red) consists of 3 teams. Teams start at opposite sides with their alliance color. Teams must cross a center "pendulum" along with 4 sets of 2 rollers. Each roller is 7' x 3' and each set spans nearly the full width of the field. Balls scored in goals must be picked up from the team's side and may not be shot or thrown across the field. Balls can only be dropped into the receptacles, forcing teams to cross the center every time they score. The number of balls in contact with a robot may not exceed 5 at a time; each additional ball will cause a 30 point penalty. Contact with the swinging Pendulum is a 100 point penalty. Each ball scored is a reward of 1 point.
