Maize Craze was the game in the inaugural year of the FIRST Robotics Competition. This game was played with four individual robots trying to collect tennis balls into their starting base. An impediment to the robots was that the entire playing field was covered in a layer of corn 1-2 inches thick.
[edit] Details
In Maize Craze, each of the 4 robots started along the edges of a square playing field. Each robot had 2 minutes to shepherd tennis balls into their home base. At the corners and in the center of the field were posts either 24" or 36" high, on top of which stood balls worth 10 or 25 points. Around the center posts were 150 1-point balls.
