### What's an Op Mode?
During a typical FIRST Tech Challenge match, a team’s robot has to perform a variety of tasks in an effort to score points. For example, a team might want their robot to follow a white line on the competition floor and then score a game element (such as a ball) into a goal autonomously during a match. Teams write “op modes” (which stand for “operational modes”) to specify the behavior for their robot.
_Op modes_ are computer programs that are used to customize the behavior of a competition robot. The Robot Controller can _execute_ a selected op mode to perform certain tasks during a match.
Teams who are participating in the _FIRST_ Tech Challenge have a variety of programming tools that they can use to create their own op modes. Teams can use a visual ("drag and drop") programming tool called the _FTC Blocks Programming Tool_ to create their op modes. Teams can also use a text-based Java tool known as the _FTC OnBot Java Programming Tool_ or Google's _Android Studio_ integrated development environment (also known as an "IDE") to create their op modes.
