Breakaway is the game for the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition. Robots are supposed to play a game like football. Their main purpose is to shoot footballs into goals. However the field looks a bit different. Bumps, tunnels and towers are placed on the field and make the game more interesting. The day of the qualifications at the Israeli regional competition the wireless networks linking the controller to the robots in competition had interference problems, so the qualification matches played by the team had to be moved to the next day and thus were halved by nine games per team to four/five games. However, this unsuccessful day was a great opportunity for the SUN's members to get into the competition's atmosphere and do better the day after. The team's members have been hosted by FIRST Team 1937, which was of great support during the whole competition. The second day of the competition the Team won only one game out of three. In the first two games the team showed up having a great defense, but the alliance's robots did not work properly because of the misfunctioning wireless connection. During the third game the team decided to move up in the field and scored three times in a row. The team won the Rookie Inspiration Award  due to their passion for the game and their spirit. 2011 competition
