Re: VersaFrame by VEX Robotics

Hello...

1610 used the Versa chassis for the first time this past year and we
did pretty well with it (on winning alliance at VCU, Finalist at Chesapeake
and a Quality award at Chesapeake basically because the robot ran so well). The
1x2 held up well. We used that for our basic frame including a practice bot.
We used the thin 1x1 for our arm but looking back i wished we had used the 1x2 for that.
We were able to have the basic frame built and running in a couple days. The biggest
drawback we had was using all the pop rivets. We're planning on using
it again depending on the game and are looking into a Pneumatic pop rivet gun.

Team 2363 used it also and did very well (winners at Chesapeake,
winning alliance on Galileo) They used the 1x2 for their arm and it
held up much better than the 1x1 we used.
