This year, we utilized the team's vex kits. We left one for the FVC team, and the others were used for creating something functional. The first challenge was making a base that is both fast and durable, and the second was using one of the FVC softballs, and being able to control it around a track. The setup of having two different challenges, with a competition at the end of each, allowed for some of the rookies to better understand what is going on, and gain some excitement towards FIRST in general.
