VEX Tournament at IRI!

[Andy Baker]

Vex at IRI is gonna be sweet.

We've got a game that has already been tested, and you can compete with only 1 Vex kit. There will be teams of crusty FIRST veterans and teams who don't know what FIRST is. Students and adults will be competing... anyone can sign up! (pssst... it is a fairly simple game, not as complex as FIRST's Vex Challenge in Atlanta)

For those of you who have attended the IRI at Lawrence North HS (in Indy), the Vex field and pits will be held in the auxilliary gym. 50 FIRST team pits will be around the perimeter of the gym, on the rubber flooring, while the Vex field and pits will be located on the basketball court in the middle of the gym. So, if you have one of these 50 FIRST pits, you could see your Vex team competing about 50 feet away.

It is great to see Team Roboto step up and create this game. Rufus and Scotty have put in a load of work to develop and test the game, organize the event, and get it ready for IRI.

So, students, parents, mentors, teachers... get your team together, check out the VEX information, and sign up your team!

See ya in July!
