Mini FRC Championship Challenge!

[Francis-134]

FRC Team 40, Trinity High School and intelitek from Manchester, NH is proud to announce that we WILL indeed be bringing down our Mini FRC field and all six of our robots, as shown in this thread.

With that, team 40 would like to issue a challenge to all teams attending the championship. We ask that you build or bring a 1/3 scale Vex robot designed to play this years FRC game, Aim High. I know that several teams have already built either replicas of their robots this year, or have expressed interest in making their own Mini-FRC bots.

I don't have a set of rules ready as of yet, but here are some basics. The field that will be there will be exactly 1/3 scale in every way (plus or minus 1/2 in. of course). The surface is regulation FIRST carpet, while the ramp has a diamond plate incline and a lexan and sides. The robots should be no bigger than about 15" long by 15" wide by 20" high. The balls can be found here. The balls are 2.25 inches in diameter and are made of a substance that is very similar to the poof balls.

So if anyone has any questions, feel free to drop me a line or post here. I shold have some more exact rules later on. And, if anyone is feeling ESPECIALLY adventerous, try to make an autonomous mode .

Can't wait to see you all in the Vex area of the pits at Atlanta
