FIRST OVERDRIVE

F.I.R.S.T Overdrive


Welcome one and all to the 2008 F.I.R.S.T season, Overdrive!
Here you will find anything you wanted to know or learn about team #379, the Robocats, and F.I.R.S.T. For more information on F.I.R.S.T., check out the "F.I.R.S.T. information" page.


What is Overdrive?

Overdrive is a match that is two minutes and fifteen seconds long. A fifteen second HYBRID mode begins the game where the drivers may not control the robot. Only person(s) that may control the robot is the RoboCoach, who will be using a remote control (like for any television) with up to four functions. Immediately following HYBRID modes comes a two minute tele-operated period where the drivers will resume the control of the robot. The point of the game is to race around the track as many times as possible. Each complete lap will get an alliance two points, but if that team has possession of a TRACKER BLL, they will receive four points. If a team is able to throw the ball over the overpass (hurdle), they will receive an additional eight points. For more information, check out the "Overdrive Rules" Page.
