Re: New VEX Game Announced!
If I was building a big giant unfolding wall of Vex plating, I'd just have the center stretch more than 2 feet. But a big, giant wall is unfeasible because your alliance partner can't break it either. A sliding wall on some kind of omnidirectional chassis, be it crab or omniwheel, would probably be better.
Man, why aren't there more Vex crab drives?

What I learned from week-1 is that once again my son has been inspired to the level that he came home after the BAE Systems Granite State FIRST Robotics Regional Competition with the biggest smile I have seen on his face for a long long time. I am truly grateful for that. - FIRST_Parent [more]
