(eg. flipping, pushing into pits in the field, lifting off the ground, so on) Now that'd be an interesting game!

ya
it would be like battle bots and sumo
so happy together

Our VEX team challenged me (as base driver) and another member of our team (as the only independent owner of a VEX kit) to a VEX-off. We need to build a bot to beat our FVC bot in a 1v1 version of this year's game.

I really don't feel like building a ball scoring mechanism, so I thinking about just building a flipper and then parking on the platform

Gee, I love those servos in the VEX kits, especially when you can control it directly with a joystick.

This hammer thingamabob looks rather fun, hey, wait a minute. hmmm... (now if I put a turntable on top of the robot and then the servo, hmmm... )
