2004 - FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar
Alliances of 2 teams face off, trying to throw balls into both moving and stationary goals. An unusual ball release mechanism makes things more interesting. Ordinarily, the main game balls are not released until a minute into the match. However, a robot can release the balls - for its alliance only - if it knocks a special yellow ball off a platform during autonomous mode.
In FIRST Frenzy, robots could not launch balls into the goals. Instead, they had to hand them off to human players who threw the balls from the sidelines. The championship moved again, to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA.
927 teams competed in 26 regionals.
