 We are not here to build robots, or to win a contest, or to travel to cool places or to bring home trophies. we are here to see what a career in engineering and science is like; anything else that happens along the way is frosting on the cake - KenWittlief [more] |

Re: Vex Competition Idea
116 has run a "mini-bot" competition for at least 6 or 7 years now. The last two we've used the vex kit (well really, the last one, tonight will be the 2nd year). Before that we used plywood, scrap metal, and drill motors. We give the students a new game every year, and they have 1-2 meeting to build, then compete. We aim to create simple games that can be played with square-bot level machines. Each group gets about a starter kit worth of parts, give or take some.
This year each team will have about an hour and a half tongiht, and a few hours saturday morning to build, then we compete after lunch on saturday. I'll post pictures/video/results then!
