The Game (FIRST Overdrive):

FIRST Overdrive is played on a 54 ft (16 m) by 27 ft (8 m) track divided lengthwise by a fence into a Red side and a Blue side. The fence is crossed by an overpass marking the red and blue finish lines. Two three-team alliances race around the track in a counter clockwise direction manipulating Trackballs. 
The game is made up of two scoring periods. The first 15 seconds of play is the Hybrid period in which robots are autonomous, and may also respond to digital signals sent by team Robocoaches stationed at the corners of the track. 
The next two minutes of play is the Teleoperated period. At this time, robots are radio controlled by team operators standing at either end of the field. More game info here.
The Robot:
The 2008 robot was a "rabbit bot", meaning that it could quickly drive around the track. Our 2008 robot was known as the fastest robot at the 2008 Los Angeles regional.
