Re: FRC Off-Season Vex Competition Ideas

I think if I wanted to play any game on a vex scale it'd be Aim High. It'd be difficult to do with vex parts only but it'd also be the most fun. I think for the Human Players you could replace them with an auto loader similar to what was used in the 2006 FVC game "Half Pipe Hustle".

Now that I think about it, if you used some kind of light weight foam balls you shouldn't have any issue shooting them with a vex motor. I know I built a racket ball shooter back in the day and I used three motors with a 1:49 reduction off of the motors.

(Or a fun one you didn't list would be 2002-Zone Zeal.... I'd love to see someone build a Vex Scaled version of 71's machine from that year.)
