Raising the Bar was the 2004 game for the FIRST Robotics Competition. The game for the 2004 season required robots to collect and pass 13 balls to the human player to then shoot them into fixed and moveable goals. There were three 30″ balls on the playing field that could be placed on top of any goal by a robot, which would double the point value in the goal. Toward the end of the match, robots would attempt to “hang” from a 10″ bar for additional points.
