Re: VEX The Next Level
The Milwaukee VEX League was for HS and MS students to use as a training ground for the approaching FIRST season. This is how the Fall WIRED Robotics Challenge (the event held on December 4th) will be used in the future, assuming it doesn't interfere too much with the official FVC schedule.
However, what Andy is proposing here is something that we have discussed and are in pre-planning for. An "open division" may be in place for next year's fall event, or more likely, may have its own competition as early as late May/early June. We don't yet know if we would use the Half Pipe Hustle game, Uber Tuber game, 2005 Savage Soccer, or something completely new. The "open division" would be just that - open to anyone that wants to enter: students (if they feel up to it), parents, mentors, former drivers (I WANNA PLAY!!), etc. If the event happens in the spring, we may test out a new format for the competition as well, with several "events" in addition to the competition itself, that would be incorporated into the league in the fall.
Andy, I am very interested in this idea. See my PM coming later tonight or tomorrow for further thoughts.
Kev
