Strategically, a big difference between FRC and FTC is that FTC only gives you 1 alliance partner while FRC gives you 2. Besides that, things are pretty much the same; you'll still (hopefully) be meeting with your alliance partners before a match to put a strategy together.

Part 1 of the FTC Game Manual for this season was released recently. "Robot Rules" lists a lot of things you can and can't use. Was there anything more specific you were thinking of?
