Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge

Man I've been building that thing all day, mostly because I messed up three times. Took me 2.5 hours xD

It's a lot of fun to play with it. Anyone got it up and running yet?

Pictures anyone? I think our mentor has some of the thing our guys are building.

Did you get your Vexplorer?

If so then mine has to be showing up soon.......

And yes, I got the luxury of taring one apart to build our bots manipulator for FTC this year, fun.

I also got mine too, but can't play with it until Friday.

Yeah I did get mine. Saw it sitting in the hallway when I came home from school :3

UPS guy handed me a big brown box labeled Vexplorer.

I've got it built into the original config and have been playing around with it for a bit. Tomorrow I get the rest of my parts from VexLabs so I'll be set to tare it apart and get to work.

This is real, we all just got handed $300 worth of parts, everyone's already won.

[Alex Cormier]

So, does anyone have any updates on their robot or such?

All we have done is the newly revamped base to acquire the balls done so far.

[smartkid]

My prototype is complete, I've just been busy with FRC and FTC for Atlanta and California.

I'll post a pic later...

I also am one of the 25, Mine will be climbing up ladders.

yeah, i tryed to think about something to submit for this, but I couldn't find a satisfactory list/picture of the entire contence of the kit, so I didn't really know what could be done with it. Plus, i'm /horrible/ with vex, so I think i'll stick to FRC, lol

Just surfing around the website and I stumbled upon this link:

http://botmag.com/articles/revells_press_release.shtml

It mentions our robot idea as one of the examples.

Nice robot... . The video looks great too. My favorite cat Misty was very well behaved. Too bad I wasn't there to help you film, but I see you've done pretty well without me. Good luck!
