The FIRST® Robotics Competition, "the varsity sport for the mind," combines the excitement of sports with the rigors of science and technology. Teams of high school students and engineer-mentors have six weeks to design, build and program their robotic competitors to perform a set of remote-controlled tasks in a highly competitive environment. |

2010 FIRST Robotics Competition Game: Breakaway
Breakaway requires robots to score soccer balls into four goals situated at the corners of a 27'x54' rectangular field. The field is divided into three regions by large speedbump-like structures that span the width of the field. Two alliances, composed of three FIRST Robotics Competition teams each, compete by trying to score balls into their goals while preventing the other alliance from scoring. Teams can also gain points by suspending their robots at the end of the match from centrally-located "towers." |
