Looking for Videos, Pics, strategy etc. from 2004 First Frenzy game

[Ian Curtis]

Before the Blue Alliance, there was SOAP (SigmaCat Opponent Analysis Program). SOAP hosted .wmv captures of the field for each event the Sigmacats attended (this including the Championship). It seems the SOAP is long gone, but perhaps the Sigmacats still have these files floating around on a hard drive?

On Soap's website, there are no 2004 videos (link). However, there used to be, and it would be awesome if these could make there way back on the internet.

I downloaded a fair number of these, and may have a couple floating around on my computer at home. I'll check next week and get the few I have back on the internet if I can find them.

The Rhode Warriors also have some pretty Rhode Warrior centric videos from 2004 (and other years too!)

If I had to pick a robot from 2004 it was team 69, H.Y.P.E.R. They only had a suction cup for the doubler ball, really big wheels, and a mechanism to hang, but in two regionals they never lost a match, per Andy Grady's count. Their alliances dropped two matches (back in those days we cycled our robots in and out during the eliminations) when they weren't on the field, and they tied a time or two, but they never lost. Too bad they didn't go to ATL...

[EDIT]Match 12 of the RhodeWarriors at BAE in 2004 shows a glimpse of the H.Y.P.E.R. machine. While not its most stellar performance, it shows how the 50 points for the bar could easily sway a match[/EDIT]
