LASA Robotics Competes in FRC 2010 Season

LASA Robotics, FRC418 (Team "Purple Haze"), competed in the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).

This year's theme was “Breakaway” and the game was based on a fun twist on the game of soccer. In the FRC “Breakaway” robotics game, two teams of three robots competed on a specialized field with small barriers, earning points by scoring soccer balls in goals and raising themselves off the competition field at the end of each match. View the Breakaway game description and animation.
