New VEX Game Announced!

My only complaint is about the time frame. For those of us 10-20 hours a week, (while I'm sure that will be toned down for summer), the only realistic use for more time, would be a more advanced autonomous. Plus it gives makes recruiting hard with no time between seasons to get the people coming into grade 10 interested. And finally it means that you lose some of the real-life-esque pressure the old time frame provided, I mean look at FRC...

So you would prefer to be under a ton of pressure to get something done in time instead of being able to relax think ideas through experiment and then decided to build? I personally prefer this time frame plenty of time to work around other events.

Good plan - I look forward to seeing it in action

Then you should get them interested during grade 8 and have them compete in at least one scrimmage that year. That way, by the time they reach grade 10 they are already both interested and experienced.

For my team and I, it's not simply take 6 months to build a robot.

We use the VEX kits during the fall. So essentially we have to build good robots by the end of summer, record intensive documents as to how they were built, and then rebuild them around November and before the FRC season. So I guess one could say that we're working under pressure.
