### What’s an Op Mode? ### What’s an Op Mode?
During a typical _FIRST_ Tech Challenge match, a team’s robot must perform a variety of tasks 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 into a goal autonomously during a match. Teams write programs called “op modes” (which stands for “operational modes”) to specify the behavior for their robot. These op modes run on the Robot Controller phone after being selected on the Driver Station phone.

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. This section of the wiki explains how to use the FTC Blocks Programming Tool to write an op mode for an FTC robot.

Note that the process used to create and edit an op mode is identical if you are using a Control Hub as your Robot Controller.
