This is very interesting! I just might be coaching a bot at IRI after all? o.0

Re: VEX at 2010 IRI!

The VEX Classroom Competition is a fun challenge for anyone, whether they're familiar with the VEX Robotics Design System or not. The parts limitations make the challenge not only affordable, but also forces you to make some interesting design trade-offs. Very similar to the early years of FRC.

Here's an example of the type of robot that can be built for this challenge. This robot was built by Lower Marion High Schools in preparation for the upcoming 2010 National TSA Conference VEX Robotics Swept Away Championship.

http://tsa.lmtechclub.org/2010/?page_id=143

We've limited entries to 8 teams to ensure that the tournament can be run at a relaxed pace that allows participants to still be part of the FRC action at IRI.

I'm excited to see which FRC teams jump on board to take part in some VEX action at IRI!

Much like FRC, this competition has no restrictions on the ages of those working on the robot. It is preferred that the driver be a high school student or younger, but if space permits an older driver may be allowed.

Re: VEX at 2010 IRI!

This seems like a GREAT way to recruit new students to your FRC team, train team members, or get a teacher/school administrator more excited about competitive robotics in the classroom (I'm sure Karthik will be smart enough to bring a couple of the Teacher Handbooks *cough* right KK? *cough*).

Even if you're not going to play in the Classroom Competition event at IRI, please spend a few minutes talking to Karthik, JVN, or Paul about the Classroom Competition offerings and how they might help your program or grow a new one near you.

There's a LOT of bang for the buck:

Thanks to Chris and the IRI folks for making this opportunity possible

Re: VEX at 2010 IRI!

. Clean Sweep here we come!

12" base, 4 wheel drive with Omni's on the front for steering. Arm is lifted by two motors on a dual gear system. 12" arm extension on a rack/pinion gear system. Basket (design totally stolen from a team in Texas I saw at the TSA Nationals) is on a servo to dump it over the wall. All the weight is over the rear wheels for extra traction.

Re: VEX at 2010 IRI!

Jen S from Team 1640 shot this video of Jack driving the Team 1640 scoop flipper at IRI. There are two preliminary matches shown and the two finals against Chris is Me's robot.

There were problems with the robot flicking balls over the wall. At home we practice in a regular Clean Sweep field, the walls are taller. Jack and I talked about trying to change the angle of the scoop but it changed how the green balls scooped up. So we left it alone for the tournament.

Jack's average score was 40-48 points per match.

Thanks again to the other teams that played and to Karthik for setting this up.

And a big thank you to the Texas TSA team that was driven by a girl with long black hair, your scoop design worked really well. When we put it on the servo to flip it it worked great. (Her design carried it up and over the robot and then the wall)

Didn't mute my terrible coaching at all... Dang, that's cold.

Here's my own, much less polished video demonstrating the robot did what it was supposed to do. http://vimeo.com/13518806

And here's a picture of the bot with a detailed description of how it worked: http://www.vexforum.com/gallery/show...imageuser=3165
