2010: Breakaway

BREAKAWAY^™ is played on a 27-by-54 foot rectangular field. There are two bumps to divide the field into three sections and a white line that divides the field down the middle. Two towers stand at the intersections of the bumps and the white lines. Two alliances of three robots, try to kick soccer balls into their alliance’s goals. At the end of each match, the robots are encouraged to hang from the towers. In order to receive points, a robot hanging must be at least 18 inches off the ground. Any robot suspended from another robot hanging to the tower will receive extra points. For every ball scored in an alliance’s goal, that alliance will receive one point. For every robot suspended more than 18 inches off the ground, their alliance will receive two points, and alliances will attain three points for every robot hanging off another robot.
