Has anyone seen the FVC sizing box?

Just before the December 2005 FVC pilot event in St. Louis, I built this sizing box to use for robot inspections. After the St. Louis event, I think the box went on to subsequent FVC events at other locations.

Does anyone remember seeing it? Did this sizing box survive the FVC season?

Any suggestions to improve the sizing box design for 2006-2007?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

I think I remember seeing this sizing box at NERVE (Hartford, CT).

Re: Has anyone seen the FVC sizing box?

Well, the box was definatly at the Championship, so it probably did survive the entire season, barring some oddball accident between Thursay and Friday afternoon. I have to say, the box was very sturdy and looked brand new, even at the Nationals. I guess I would say, don't change anything (heck, use the same box next year assuming the size requirements are the same).

Is NERVE another name for the March 10, 2006 FVC pilot event?

Yes, NERVE stands for New England Regional Vex Event.

LOL, Richard, I guess it WAS your box that I saw in both Hartford and in Atlanta. You have the people to contact, hope you get it back!
