Re: Vex "Gateway" 2011-2012 VRC Game
Kick off of the game was today, but i haven't seen the game animation for it yet. The game looks ok, a challenge to say the least. Its going to be slow moving and low scoring, unlike this years game. This game is going to rely on the teams strategy

"VEX Gateway is intended to be an offensive game" from the game manual. But i guess in comparison to round up there will be a lot fewer points. They need to explain the part where the humans can go on to the field, they're not clarifying that very well. |

Also, the gate rules are also a little unclear Quote:

Re: Vex "Gateway" 2011-2012 VRC Game
What part are you trying to open? If you mean the game manual, then I didn't have a problem. If you're trying to open up the appendixes, then you will likely need WinRAR (or an equivalent program if there is such a thing).

Because in the rule they say the gate has to be lifted before the last 30 seconds and they also say it must be completed promptly. |

Re: Vex "Gateway" 2011-2012 VRC Game
I've pretty much read the entire manual and I'm still pretty confused. I defiantly need to see the animation
. Surely going to be an interesting year;]. Good luck to everyone! |

) but I think basically if you're robot wasn't able to move at the beginning of the match you can reach in and ix the battery/cord/cpu/etc. to get it to run as long as its touching your colored mat tile (which if it wasn't moving should not be a problem). Whether they covered it in the rules or not, VEX won't allow people to walk onto the field to fix a robot or anything crazy like that. I think they basically added this because they were tired of seeing matches go to a waste because teams couldn't move. As far as discussion that has been going on so far about whether this could be like FLL where you add and subtract "attachments", I don't believe that will work because (once again, paraphrasing cause I'm lazy) the definition of a robot is anything brought to the field that is not a controller or person. So you can't keep attachments with you to put on later; at least the way I'm interpreting it.Quote:
This season's going to be awesome. And DISNEYLAND!!! Cali here we come. But gotta focus on St. Louis first See everyone on the field in St. Louis and this coming season for Gateway! |

Re: Vex "Gateway" 2011-2012 VRC Game
I understand SG5 and SG6, but I don't understand SG15. What are the human players allowed to do once the gates are lifted?

Re: Vex "Gateway" 2011-2012 VRC Game
Huh. I would guess that... Nah... What if... Nah, that doesn't make sense either...
I give up on that rule. It's definitely going to need clarification. |
