TJ2 Receives the New Game,
"Breakaway", During a Live, International
Web Broadcast from the FIRST

TJ2 officially opens the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition season on Saturday January 9th with students, coaches, and parent volunteers, gathering at Bridgewater-Raynham's lecture hall to view the international webcast from FIRST Headquarters in New Hampshire.

The Game - Breakaway

The "soccer" themed game named Breakaway, involves robots that can work cooperatively with other FRC team's robots to score points on an obstacle rich playing field.

View the 2010 game simulation here.

The rest of the day was spent examining the game and it's elaborate rules, and strategizing an effective robot design, and approach to playing the game.

On Sunday, the team gathered in Raynham at the headquarters of our corporate sponsor, DePuy for a brainstorming session where students and coaches debated strategy and design features that would allow TJ to be an effective game player.

For the next six weeks, B-R's Team 88 will be working on designing, and fabricating a robot, and then learning to play the game before traveling to the first regional competition held in March in Baltimore, Maryland.

Special thanks to Supreme Coffee & Donuts for providing breakfast for the team, and to B-R Athletic Director, Dan Buron for providing TJ with some key props for our simulation of the game.
