FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar
FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar was the 2004 FRC game.
Official Game Summary[1]
The game for the 2004 season requires robots to collect and pass 13” balls to the human player to then shoot them into fixed and moveable goals. There are three 30” balls on the playing field that can be placed on top of any goal by a robot, which will double the point value in the goal. Additionally, robots may attempt to “hang’ from a 10’ bar.
