Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon
Might I recommend an option for 20-ounce Coke bottles instead of the water bottles? They're more standard and easy to find, and if someone wants to haul around four extra ounces of liquid, I don't see the problem.
(Of course, I'd also recommend a requirement that they have to drink the Coke before their run and replace it with water. )Last edited by Billfred : 21-08-2006 at 21:44. |

Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon
Wendy has taken over the time and place for the contest and has said it will be run in October. September turned out to be bad time for to many people.
I think she was talking about the weekend of October 14th. |

Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon
I'm interested in bringing up an entry (or two), but Saturday would be a much better day than Friday. I need to save my vacation days for Wobot season.

Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon
That grabber seems a little wild and in need of a slow-down in gears or software, but I like the concept. If there's one thing I learned from Triple Play (and, to a lesser extent, FIRST Frenzy), it's that the less precise you can afford to be when driving, the better.
Anything crazy on the drivetrain front? |

well it may look crazy but it is controlled by analog so it can be controlled very easily. the the drive train is just a basic four wheel drive with crawlers |

Re: Vex contest from Exploding Bacon Oct 14th
Finally the date is nailed down at October 14th, a Saturday.
The date will not be moved, at least over my dead robot. |
