The VEXpro team has been paying attention to the feedback from the community on the pros & cons of the Ri3D and Build Blitz projects, and after careful consideration we're revamping the way we do Build Blitz for 2015. This year, our engineering team will not be building full robots over the course of three days.

Starting during kickoff we'll begin an entire WEEK LONG roll-out of educational materials, application engineering examples, prototype videos, design guides, strategy analysis and more -- all targeted specifically for the 2015 game! Maximizing what we can accomplish in the three days should not be the goal; we want to make sure we keep our focus on enhancing the experience of what all of you can do in six weeks.

Our goal is to provide teams with the foundation materials they need to succeed in this year's game. We want to eliminate the frustrations associated with being an inexperienced team, without removing the challenges inherent in this incredible program.

So tune in on January 5th 2015, two days after the FRC Kickoff when we'll start releasing materials, and keep watching www.BuildBlitz.com for information as it is posted!

Based on the feedback we got last season, we saw that it was important for us to continue doing Build Blitz to help provide teams with resources, instructions, and inspiration to guide them through the build season. At the same time our feedback told us that many teams were concerned that the evolution of these quick designs was having unintended consequences on the community. We hope that by shifting our focus from complete robots to game specific educational resources, we've hit the sweet spot where we can help and inspire many, without removing the challenges we all love and thrive on in FRC.

We'll use this thread to keep the community up to date on all our progress. For full details and updates be sure to check out www.BuildBlitz.com, as well as our VEXRoboticsTV YouTube Channel and our @BuildBlitz Twitter page.

If you have any questions or feedback, please share it with us! Build Blitz is designed for the community and we want to make sure all your voices are heard!
