Maize Craze was the game in the inaugural year, 1992, of the FIRST Robotics Competition. Gameplay consists of four individual robots, or “machines”, trying to collect tennis balls, or “treasure”, into their own home base. The field also includes an impediment to the robots consisting of a layer of loose corn kernels covering the entire playing field, 1-2 inches deep.
