Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game Announcement!

wahoo, just got back at the dorm after having a great weekend away from tv, internet, phones and everything else.

Can't wait till next week to start thinking and building the winning robot. (long story about the delay and don't feel like explaining it.)

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game Announcement!

Just a quick reminder that this game is open for everyone to compete. No age limits or grade restrictions, so mentors and students alike break out those vex kits and get to building.

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game Announcement!

Just a couple of questions...
What is the circular goal made from? Lexan?
Is there a border around the field?
Who is making this field?

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game Announcement!

Last I remember, we thought the center goal would be made of PVC with the dividor made of Lexan.

There would be a border around the field.

And it would be greg who is building it, so he might change his mind on what the center goal is made of. PVC is just what we thought of on the spot.

I'm asking this because, if i make a speedy robot, i will have no pushing power. so a way to defend me easily is to pin me. So will they be penalized if they pin for more then 3 seconds?

Re: Ra Cha Cha Vex Game Announcement!

Alex, quit whining already. You have lost before you start. The powerful robots do not have to pin to hold. Just corner you and sit in the way. Better plan for the power that can be unleashed.

All that said I don't think I will have a robot this year. Most of my parts are in use for a firefighting robot that we are building for a competition here in November.

I believe I am as long as I can get my room again. I know that someone has her mind on someone and something else at the moment so I don't want to get her out of focus, if you know what I mean.
