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 “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 to create their op modes. \ No newline at end of file
