The 2007 FRC game was called Rack 'n' Roll. It was played on a 26 by 57 foot carpeted field in the middle of which is a 10 foot tall octagonal structure called the Rack. The Rack had three levels of eight arms or "Spider Legs", on which plastic inner-tubes were hung by the robots to score points. Bonus points were awarded to robots that were completely supported either 6 or 12 inches off the playing field at the end of the match.

For Rack 'n' Roll PHRED built PHRED VI know more commonly as Ladderbot. PHRED VI used a hook to pick up the inner-tubes then was able to score on all three levels of the Rack using modified extension ladder, thus the name Ladderbot. PHRED VI was also able so score by hanging an inner-tube during the autonomous period of the game.
