Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
Team 40 is bringing their 1/3 scale Aim High field to the IRI for demos.
They have VEX kit robots designed to play the game, and any other teams that want to build a robot to play "Mini Aim High" can come and join in. Their robots will be there for students (and adluts) to play. If enough teams build a VEX robot, there might be time for some fun challenge matches. Specifics for you to use when building a VEX robot to play (note to engineers - these are not exactly 1/3 scale). Playing Field Size - 8'8" x 18' Ramp - 44" wide, 16" deep (on top) and 8-1/2" high Upper Goal - 34" to center of goal. Upper Goal - 10" diameter. No green light for tracking. There are lower goals also. Robots 15" x 15" x 20" high Balls - 2.3" diameter "stress relievers" The robot sizes are designed to work well with VEX kits Use any motors or parts you want Plan to build a robot and join in. Thanks to Team 40 for bringing their fiield (you may have seen it in Atlanta) |

Re: Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
We're all very excited to be bringing along our Mini-FRC field and the robots. We've made some especially for IRI, so it should be a blast. Check out the link in my sig for a video about our little creation.

Re: Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
I'm a gonna start working on a new bot right now. I just got my 2nd kit, so maybe I'll have 2 but very doubtful. BTW... where'd the balls come from? I could use some...

Re: Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
if the size of the balls is right, we will most likely bring our bot.
anyone know the diameter of a tennis ball off the top of their heads? |

Also a tennis ball mass is about 50 grams. One of the stress balls I have accumulated is about 2.3" and "weighs" 25 grams. Don't forget to adjust for the weight difference. Blake |

Well, I won't be bringing my bot. I don't have the time to work on it but I will watch.

Re: Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
that's the beauty of it though...our robots are for everyone to play with, so no one is left watching. even if you don't bring a robot you can still take part in the action!

Re: Mini Aim High at IRI (VEX for Fun)
I might try to make one, but I'll have to pull an all-nighter tomorrow. I guess I can sleep on the trip.

I also might try to rig something up but no promises
Only a few days left and even though I have my simple drive together, making a successful shooter will be a challenege... we'll see. |
