haha, i probably have something lying around somewhere, or could improvise something. but our head mentor is likely to hunt one down anyway. we're definitely looking into it, just as soon as we can afford it.

sounds like you're pretty well equipped we have a couple of metalwork rooms and a brill computer lab, but thats all on provision that there isn't a class in there we're going to try to kick them out during FRC though.

Since the only batteries allowed for the VEX official comps are the Vex rechargables all the teams will have buy them before the NZ regional
really? i thought since the holder/connector for the AAs was VEX we'd be alright. i'd better inform my team of this one

Our team is using Vex only parts as it's saves building a robot then having to tear it apart and rebuild with Vex parts close to the Regional.
we're doing the same. partially due to lack of non-VEX equipment


Phr34kR - your team obviously have a lot more experience than ours you're doing brilliant in the competitions, too. I look forward to seeing what you guys will come up with for Lunacy.
Yes, Chief Delphi is definitely a huge help for us who dont know what we're doing, and makes the life of all our designers easier
"how do we do this?"

"what about this?"
