Why don't we come up with a range, so a person can bring their own water. There must be some sort of range. I don't the exact range is that important.

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. )

Man, you had to pick the day that I have a night class. From when to when do we expect the contest to be? If I am unable to make it, I am still highly encouraging at least 1604 to compete and to share their VEX supplies with 1390. If by chance I am able to come, I don't have the time on my plate to design a robot just for this competition, but I'll run with the kiwi drive bot I already have that was made to play soccer with a poof ball. Keep me in touch!

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.

Yes actually we are thinking Friday the 13th. I'm looking into using either WPHS caf or Glenridge MS multi purpose room. We really need to get a count of who is going to play

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.

Besides - a Vex competition might be hexed on Friday 13th......
