The current community based solutions work, eventually, but I have to think they'd work better if implemented and supported by the people responsible for the FMS, etc.

totally agree with this statement. I think VEX learned from FIRST, and that's what made it successful as a competition very quickly. I think VRC may have even surpassed FRC as a competition, I'll know for sure by the end of the weekend. I'm hoping to see everyone there this weekend. and Good luck to all the teams competing.

Very exciting. I usually only check out webcasts for FTC's champs, but they've got me for VEX Champs now too.

It would be awesome if the Mythbusters work an entire episode with FIRST/VEX-related myths. Anyone know of any FIRST myths or myths in the VEX community? Someone could propose a show to Grant and Carrie and if they were interested enough would pass it along to the show's execs and producers.

Water game!



C'mon, someone had to say it, right?

width and # of wheels gives you more traction. (not really a myth but I'd like people to stop bringing it up every year)
