2004 Game, FIRST® FRENZY: RAISING THE BAR™
Teams will become frenzied as they strategize on whether their robots
will negotiate IR beacons during the Autonomous Period, herd small
balls to Ball Corrals, cap large balls on goals, move mobile goals,
climb steps or attempt to hang from the Pull-Up Bar. The object of the
game is for teams' robots to trigger the Ball Release during the first
15 seconds, collect balls and feed them to the Human Players who will
throw them into the goals. Robots will try to cap the goals with large
balls to double the point value contained in that goal and attempt to
end the match hanging from the center Pull-Up Bar. This year's game
requires excellent coordination between the robots and very accurate
Human Players. With multiple ways to score points, it will be
necessary to track your score as well as your opponent's score and
make critical decisions near the end of the match.
