2006 VEX Game Announced

[Jeremy Roberts]

The VEX Game has now been officially released. Get it here (http://www.usfirst.org/vex/resources/)

Here's a link to the entire manual and supporting documentation (http://www.usfirst.org/vex/resources/).

I'm just a spectator when it comes to Vex, and right now I'm really jealous of anyone who gets to take part in this game. Definitely should be a lot of fun. I'm especially interested in how the tournament structure will play out, with autonomous and operator controlled matches. This increased emphasis on autonomous mode will force teams to take that part of the challenge more seriously.

Kudos to the game designers on making a challenging and interesting game.

Finally, they got it out. I helped to do some testing with this game, and let me tell you, it is a LOT of fun. I can't wait so see how some teams are going to go about it.

Chapter 2: The Game "Half-Pipe Hustle" (http://www2.usfirst.org/vex/2005-06/Chapter_2_Half_Pipe_Hustle.pdf) (pdf - 1674 KB)

Has anyone tried to access www.vexgames.com for the FVC field specifications? The only thing posted, to date, is "Thank you for visiting our site. Please return soon for updates". I know I should have taken more photos when I went to the X-games this summer! Now I'm going to have to mug a plumber for his half pipe. :ahh:

All of the field specifactions should be in this document (http://www2.usfirst.org/vex/2005-06/Appendix_3_Dimensional_Field_Drawings.pdf). You can use these to build your own parts. According to the FIRST website, the vexgames.com website will sell playing field parts.

Thanks PeteK and Rich.
