Teams who participate in the _FIRST_ Tech Challenge must build a robot that performs a variety of tasks. The tasks vary from season to season, based on game rules published at the start of each season. The more tasks that a robot can complete, the more points a team will earn.
A _FIRST_ Tech Challenge match has an _autonomous_ phase and a _driver-controlled_ or _"tele-operated"_ phase. In the autonomous phase of a match the run operates without any human input or control. In the driver-controlled phase, the robot can receive input from up to two human drivers.
