I was only 8 at the time but ill try to explain it.

The 2004 game was called FIRST frenzy: raising the bar. the name came from a 12 foot high "chin up" bar placed at the center of the field.

A way to get a large amount of points was to simply hanag from the bar however, because both alliances hung from the same bar there was bound to be midair colissions. This was sometimes awsome as I remember seeing a robot climb over the top of another robot to get there hang points but more commonly it was a slam fest to be the first one hanging. In the case of wildstang because they hung rather high teams would wack them with there apendages and not draw any penalties resulting in the "Wialdstang Pinata".
