The Game: Breakaway

Click the Image for a PDF description from FIRST.

Breakaway is the name of the game in which FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams compete. The game consists of two alliances consisting of three teams each whose goal is to score more points than the opposing alliance. This can be done in three ways. The teams may shoot balls into a goal, climb the alliance tower or platform, or lift an alliance robot off of the ground. It is similar to the human sport of soccer.

A single match in Breakaway consists of an autonomous period of 15 seconds and a teleoperated period of two minutes. In the autonomous period, the robots move and react without direct human input, relying on a camera, sensors, and programming to navigate and score points. This period lasts for 15 seconds. Following the autonomous period is the teleoperated period, where humans may directly control the robot and score points. During the last 20 seconds of the match, the robots may begin to climb the alliance tower or to lift other robots off the ground to attain bonus points. At the end of the match, the team with the most points after penalties have been accounted for is the winner.

About FIRST

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization founded by Dean Kamen in 1989 “to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.” For the past 20 years, FIRST has been providing opportunities for students to get involved in competitions such as the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), and the FIRST LEGO League (FLL). FIRST’s first and foremost ideal is gracious professionalism, where students can compete against each other while at the same time displaying kindness and respect to one another. Gracious professionalism allows students to be both competitive and empathetic, and to realize their potentials in all aspects of life.
