Re: FRC Off-Season Vex Competition Ideas

The Midwest Vex League makes a Vex game during the fall. Local FRC and FTC teams use it to train their rookie members and to have some good clean fun. It's pretty neat to be able to try crazy things that will never happen in FIRST.

Anyhow, if you're going to make a Vex version of an FRC game I'd go for the 2008 game. the 2006 game seems too difficult to do and the 2007 game would basically feature very few working ramp bots...

This is something I've ALWAYS wanted to do, be it running the event or participating.
