Rumors of VEX demise?....Well, maybe so, maybe not but, for the last four years my robotics program (team 11) has been building scaled down FIRST robots (about 1/4 size) and competing in an arena similar to each years game. I will have pictures of robots on
www.nac.net/morobot on 3/22 (enter, important links, scaled robots). I believe that this is betterthan VEX as it mirrors process better and is an enormous teaching tool. All phases of the build session are mirrored in Advanced Robotics class. I will have curriculum and sample robots at Palmetto and Nationals. So, stop in at Team 11 and I will gladly talk. Maybe...we can get all high schools to do same and have competition to take VEX' place started by teams themselves. At least schools will have something to bite into.
