Break Away is a game played on a 27' by 54' field with two 1' tall bumps which divide the field into thirds. The game is played by six robots split into two alliances of three robots each. The object of the game is simple: a soccer ball that goes into either of the two goals on your alliance's side of the field will yield 1 point for your alliance. There are twelve balls on the field, and any balls scored must be returned to the field by the human players for that alliance via the ball return. There is an added bonus at the end of the match (the last twenty seconds); if a robot is suspended off of the ground by hanging on its alliance's tower, it will yield two points, and if a robot is suspended above the field by hanging onto another allied robot, that robot will yield three points.

Scoring (Goals & Hanging):
1 soccer ball in alliance goal- 1 point
1 robot suspended (not touching the field) - 2 points
1 robot suspended off of an allied robot - 3 points
