Rapid React, stylized as RAPID REACT and officially known as Rapid React presented by The Boeing Company for sponsorship reasons, is the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) game for the 2022 season. The game is themed around transportation as part of the FIRST-wide FIRST Forward theme for 2021-2022.

Rapid React is played by two alliances of three teams each, with each team controlling a robot and completing specific actions in order to score points. The game revolves around both alliances shooting inflatable balls known as Cargo into a central Hub and climbing within their Hangars at the end of the match. The overall objective of each match is to score more points than the opposing alliance before the match ends.

Dragonbot

Dragonbot is a long term project which has been worked on by the RatPack since 2013. Made from a frame so kindly loaned to us by FRC Team 3322 - Eagle Imperium, he has slowly become the heart and soul of our team. He's gone through many color changes and repairs but he's still going strong. Capable of opening his jaws, spreading his mighty wings to take flight, roaring (or, alternatively bleating like a goat), and breathing smoke; he is an unfaltering showstopper, and we bring him with us on most of our promotional visits to display what our team has to offer as well as to promote and advertise the FIRST community. Dragonbot is a beloved staple of this team, and is not expected to be leaving the show anytime soon.
