This year's game is Breakaway. Breakaway is played on a 27-by-54 foot carpeted field with two "bumps" separating the field into three zones. Breakaway involves two alliances of three robots each, trying to score soccer balls into either of their two goals. The robots are designed to kick a ball or try to defend the other alliance's goals to prevent the opposing alliance from scoring. During the last 20 seconds of the match the robots try to hang off the tower or their alliance partners robots to gain bonus points. Each alliance has three human players, one from each team, who must work together to get the balls scored back into play.
