Our team created its own vex competition this year to train new members.
The game consisted of two boxes, one open-end up, and the other open-end down. Robots had to drop ping-pong balls into the open-end up box and climb onto the top of the open-end down box.
The trick was that these boxes were taller than the robots. The only way you could climb onto the bonus box was to push a mobile ramp into position and climb up, you could also use this mobile ramp to climb up to the scoring box and pour a load of balls in. However, some teams found other ways to acomplish these tasks without use of the ramp.
I think this could be a very interesting game-peice in the FRC competition. Perhaps the ramp could be on casters - similar to the puck in 1999.
