Breakaway is a game played on a 27-by-54-foot carpeted field by two alliances, one red and one blue, each composed of three FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams. The alliances compete in each match, where 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, with an autonomous period starting in each match during which the robots are controlled by pre-programmed instructions. The autonomous period is followed by the teleoperated period during which the drivers assume control of the robot. The robots continue to play the game until the teleoperated period is over.
