LUNACY is played on a 54' x 27' low friction field. Robots are equipped with slippery wheels and payload trailers.Other game pieces include 3 types of “Orbit Balls”: Moon Rocks, Empty Cells, or Super Cells.

Two three-team robot alliances collect and score Orbit Balls in the opposing teams' trailers. However, it's not just the robots that are participating. Human players are positioned around the perimeter of the arena and can score from their stations. Robots are independently active during the first 15 seconds of play, and remote controlled for the remaining 2 minutes.

Before the game begins, each team can load up their robot with as many as 7 Moon Rocks to shoot with.Scoring trailers begin each match empty. Human layers are equipped with 20 Moon Rocks, minus the number they load into their robot. They are also equipped with a certain number of Empty Cells and Super Cells determined by the outcome of their previous match. If a team has not yet played a match, the human player receives 4 Empty Cells and 2 Super Cells.

When scored in the opposing teams' trailers, Moon Rocks and Empty Cells are worth 2 points and Super Cells are worth 15 points. Super Cells must be "activated” before they can be played. Activation occurs when a robot delivers an Empty Cell from their Outpost to their Fueling Station. Empty Cells can be delivered throughout the match but Super Cells may only be played during the last 20 seconds of a match.
