Re: New VEX Game Announced!
I can see a lot more slightly geared up drive trains. You could unfold a wall with 2 motors, then power the drivetrain with 8 and gear it up slightly. No pushing matches, remember?

Then again, heavy walls would make this a bit of an issue. Can you speed-hole in Vex?

If you don't like the existing holes, you may certainly drill more.

Re: New VEX Game Announced!
What about rollers for the wall?
Im thinking if you could lift your wall up past the goals then lower it in the middle of both of them and if you had wheels on the bottom of your wall so you could roll along it (omni drive would be a necessity) Then there would be no chance of being pushed away from the divider also would make for a very stable robot as the heavy wall will be supported by the field.

Re: New VEX Game Announced!
Well, robots aren't allowed to the cross the wall and go over the other side and you're talking about putting a wall down on the other side...I think you might get disabled.

Not quite correct

Robots are not allowed to touch the opposite side's tiles. Robots are allowed reach over/under the wall

Yes you're correct, but the post before me said...

I'm assuming the "it" is the floor.
