Re: Training for the upcoming underclassmen?

I'm graduating this year, but I'm leaving my team with some ideas of how to train incoming freshman. One of my favorite is to have a Vex competition. We had a bunch of leftover money this year, so we took advantage of RadioShack's misfortune/sale of Vex and bought at least two of everything. I'm currently in the process of designing a few Vex-style games/challenges, and in the fall the team will split into two and design robots to compete. Should be great because it will teach some of the fundamentals of robotics, will build and emphasize teamwork, and will be fun. I just wish I could be part of it...
