Couple of games that I have designed. (as Alex Cormier kept pestering me for some.) These are available for anyone to use. You may see one of them this off season!*
I created these match schedules so that anyone wanting to have a quick scrimmage (without using IFI or FIRST's Tournament Managers) could easily pick up a good-enough match schedule from here.
I made this tutorial to show how to set up MPLAB so you can program your VEX robots using it. All of the materials needed are available for free (all can be maintained legally too).
Because of common software (Easy-C Pro), similar microprocessor architecture between the VEX controller (Microchip PIC18F8520) and FRC controller (Microchip PIC18F8722), a typical robotics team can compete against more established robotics team by successfully prototyping the 15 second hybrid (autonomous) period operation with a VEX robot.

It's a vex game me and Greg Perkins designed for a robotics camp. It is a mix from FRC2003 and FRC2006. It includes, 4 shooting squares, ramps, platforms, golf whiffle balls and high goals.
After building two very sophisticated Vex robots, I discovered that the Vex kits have many possible implications in FRC, especially for those teams who do not have huge budgets or lots of storage space. This White Paper discusses some of the many possible implications of using Vex Robotics Kits in FRC.
