Today, we were discussing possible strategies to use during the game. We all took a break and everyone was talking. Suddenly, I took out our vex bot (Vex Team 519) and we were pushing around the balls as well as carrying it around on our little vex bot. Surprisingly, our didn't break either and it was amusing to see a little vex bot pushing the massive track ball around a mock version of the field we built. This happened about five minutes after Mr. Lavery mentioned a Chief Delphi thread discussing a super speedy robot that could make 180 laps in 2 minute and commenting on the size of the robot compared to the size of the inflated trackball. Vex parts, however horrible and annoying they may be, are pretty sturdy.
