This year's competition is called FIRST Overdrive. This game is played on a track. There are two alliances, one red and one blue, each alliance consists of three team members. The point of the game is to get a higher score than your opponent by running your robot around the track while taking trackballs with you, and putting them over or under the overpass that bisects the track.
