Re: RI3D this year?
 

If only there were some way to get all the teams together in one place to compete... I could see the logistics of it being difficult.

I am excited to see what the Ri3D teams come up with this year!

Re: RI3D this year?
 

Over the past year all of us at VEX Robotics have been paying careful attention to all these discussions on the pros and cons of the Ri3D and Build Blitz projects. We've taken this feedback and used it to shape the evolution of the 2015 version of Build Blitz. We'll be announcing all the details on December 16th along with the new VEXpro product offerings for the 2015 season.

Glad to hear this, I look forward to the reveal.

Yup with the distance between the teams getting all of the robots together at the same place and time for what would probably only be a few matches just isn't practical but it sure would be fun and interesting.

CHALLENGE:

For both Ri3d and BuildBlitz, working with FRC HQ.

Bring 'em all to the BIG SHOW (most of the folks are going to be attending already, right?). Give 'em some field time. Compete 'em all, in whatever fashion all participants determine. Use as a demo for the public, practice dummies on the practice fields, you name it, come up with something.

And have all the tech specs there for perusal, strategy process, etc.


That might be a little more practical... Idea, do it as a workshop (more of a lessons learned than anything else, I guess).

Use them to test Einstein? That would be pretty cool...
