The wait is over (alex). The Ra Cha Cha Ruckus off season event is hosting our own vex game, with a twist. This game is open to everyone, Children of all ages (5-99) anyone can play. Please checkout the rules and registration will be open soon.
Rules: http://robot.midnightinvention.com/vexgame.pdf |

yay!

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Now THIS is a game I can get behind! Lots of scoring opportunities, playable with a Squarebot but harder to dominate, and a big ol' center field structure. I'm in love.
Two questions come up: 1) By "designated ground scoring area," you mean that the balls simply have to be on your side of the ramp? 2) The rules say "Robots built with the sole intention of the destruction of the field or other robots will not be tolerated." Is tipping, particularly on the ramp, considered destruction? |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
What the considered ramp for the 20 pts? your color ramp or white?
|
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Awesome game Greg. Congrats to the Roch crew for putting it together.

1) yes. Every ball on yourside of the ramp is worth 1 point; ie. each team starts with 30 pts. 2) Tipping is not destruction. Although building something that does nothing but tip isn't that cool of an idea...right kids? Quote:

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Nice job greg, I was getting a bit worried I wouldn't have anything to give to my rookies to start working on. Now I do. I may have my vet's build a robot to compete against the rookies.
|
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Wow.... that's amazing. I'm gonna have to replicate this field and force my team to teach the new students (I don't like "rookies") with our Vex bots using this game. I hope you don't mind... lol. Man, wish I lived in NY now.

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Looks very solid and i can't wait to start building a robot for it.
Any idea of how many participants and when this will take place at the ruckus? I am also thinking of volunteering, so i kinda need that info if i am available to volunteer. |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Where are the balls at the start of each match?

Yeah, I am potentially going to field a robot for this. Just a little info on when it will take place would be greatly appreciated. |

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Rule Clairifactions: A few people have asked me privatly about rules so i am going to post the answers publicly.
what surface is it on carpet (similar to the FIRST floor) on the flat parts and the low ramp, the high ramps are painted MDF whats the rule on tipping or wedges? tipping rules will be the same as this year's frc game, there are no problems with wedge robots design as long as they are used in a defensive mannor only. |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Excellent, excellent!!!
My master plan for a pusher corner defensive bot is working out great! all feel my wrath when game time is near. :) :p :) |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
whats the thickness of the inner goal?

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game

Where are we having this field set up, in the Thomas Gym? Not sure that everything will fit, (Teehee). There should be a field set up in a cafeteria or something, to occompany everyone and the Vex game also. Questions: Does anyone know the field layout/location in Thomas? Where will the fields be? |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Correct me if i am wrong but the field will just be moved onto the existing FRC field, the FRC field will be held in the Gym and the pits in the Field House. again correct me if i am wrong.

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
will there be awards or anything?

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
I hope you are all getting your vex bots ready for the competition, I know i am ;)
I would like to ask that anyone planning to compete please sign up on the website. I am going to be making up match sheets Friday night and would like to know how many people i am actually going to have. It only takes about a min to do and I would really appreciate it. http://ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com/vex/ |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Two questions...
1) will the field or a field be there on friday night/and can we use it to make some last minute adjustments? 2)where will the balls be starting at the begining of a match(against the wall, scattered on each side, ect.)and how many total will there be? thats more like 4 questions but i guess it works as 2...kinda :p |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game

|
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
I would like to thank everyone who came out to participate in the vex game. It was a great competition, and everyone seemed to have a blast.
Congrats to Art for winning, and Dylan on a good 2nd place finish. Special thanks go out to: team 340 for building the field, everyone who built a robot, and all the spectators who enjoyed the fun. Keep those vex kits handy because there will be more Rochester vex games and tournaments in the future. |
Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game
Yes, and thank you Greg, it was a really nice to have a vex event there. Thanks for running it!

Great job Dylan, very nice robot! You probably would have won if it weren't for the mechanical break down. I wish I had the camera fixed on Greg when Art's robot launched a ball from the top of the ramp into the high goal. The look on his face was priceless. :ahh: |
