Also, the vex controller is programmed in the same exact way as the FRC stuff.
Thanks Tom!!! I am sure getting some help from the big guys!!!
I saw you guys too in the finals!!! see note above to 25!! great bunch of students!!!

We already have VEX here.. in fact we teach two different robotics classes that utilize VEX and have about 35 kits here... I teach an advanced VEX class utilizing the curriculum from Intellitek... and we have another instructor from the Museum of Flight that teaches an intro class which utilizes VEX too.. its a great system... I also utilize LEGO NXT robots in my Rockets and Robots introduction to physics class that all juniors have to take.

I like VEX but I also want to utilize DC motors and motorcontrollers...
so great idea!!! We are working along that line too!! In fact our JV Robotics team is already signed up for Just Hanging Around!!!

Our Varsity team will be the FRC team...
You see we have no music or sports at the school so ROBOTICS is our TEAM SPORT...

thanks again!!!
