FRC 2010 Game: Breakaway!

 


Watch the animation on NASA's website.

Game Description

Breakaway is a game played on a field illustrated in the picture above. There are two alliances, one red and one blue, composed of three FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent by shooting balls into a goal, climbing on the alliance tower or platform, or by lifting an alliance robot off the playing surface.

A match is 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. An autonomous period starts each match during which the robots are controlled by pre-programmed instructions. The Automomous period is followed by the Teloperated period during which the DRIVERS assume control of the robot. The ROBOTS continue to play the game until the Teloperated period is over.
