2004 - FIRST FRENZY: RAISING THE BAR

Robot Name:

FIRST Frenzy was a sort of culmination of the previous few years of FIRST competitions. There were elements from several previous games included, such as mobile goals, 'capping' goals with large inflatable balls, and others. In Raising the Bar, teams could score by having their human player score purple balls in any of the goals, capping the goals with a multiplier ball, or hanging their robot suspended from the 10 foot high 'chin up bar'. Teams competed in 2-member randomly generated alliances during qualifying matches, and as 3-member alliances with one team sitting out each match. Teams were given 5 points for every small purple ball contained within any of the goals. The 4 small yellow balls that started on the posts were each worth 10 points when contained in any goal. Teams could double the score of any given goal by placing a large yellow ball on top of it. Finally, teams could end the match hanging from the chin-up bar for a 50 point bonus at the end of the match.
