Re: Team 40 invites you to play Rack n Roll using Vex kits!
Find me a 1/3 version of a HEMI, a kleenex box and some bubble gum, we'll talk.

Oh boy, I definitely can't wait! WPI team 190 will be building a robot for competition on Saturday.
Is there any way you can post a picture of the ringer/pool noodle? Also, if anyone is curious about Mini FRC, check out the link in my signature.

Re: Team 40 invites you to play Rack n Roll using Vex kits!
I don't think I would be able to make it to compete with a Vex robot on the 13th, but I'm definitely building a 1/3 scale robot of this year's game!
 My father and I are building a 1/3 scale version of the complete rack (complete with mini-chains, so all the spider legs move!) at our house as we speak, which will be completed by Wednesday. We also plan to bring this 1/3 scale rack into our Gus meetings, so we can let all of the students prototype all their own ideas with our Vex kits, especially since we plan to use CNC sheet metal parts for many of the mechanisms/frame on our robot this year.

Re: Team 40 invites you to play Rack n Roll using Vex kits!
Will any video be posted of the matches that were played?

Also, you don't have to stick to FVC-legal Parts! This is not a FVC event, but rather the first chance to see the game played. Use whatever works for you!
We are talking about posting videos, but it depends on our schedule.

Re: Team 40 invites you to play Rack n Roll using Vex kits!
Question: The 10 in diameter tube, is that inside or outside diameter? The picture you have posted looks significantly smaller in comparison than the one that I made with the same exact pool noodle. Mine was 10 in. OD. The ID doesn't look like a 1/3 scale of a ringer.
Good find BTW. I would have never thought of pool noodles to use.

Link to the picture of the tubes: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=51384
Outside diameter. We're going to try to get it as close to scale as we can, so it may change. If you have any tips on how to bend them, feel free to share!
