FIRST Robotics 2008 - Overdrive

Overdrive is a game played with two alliances, three robots to a team.  The objective of the game is to score more points that the other alliance in the given amount of time.  A match is 2 minutes and 15 seconds long.  A hybrid period starts each match in which the robots are controlled by pre-programmed instructions and/or transmitted information from the robo–coach.  The hybrid period is followed by the tele–operated period during which the drivers assume control of the robot.  There may be a short pause between hybrid period and the start of the tele–operated period as the player's controls are activated.  The robots continue to play the game until the tele–operated period is over.
