Re: scoring after end of match

Yes, since scored balls are counted when they are at rest.

Re: Medium thickness anti-slip mats?

Since you don't have an advantage over other teams, and the thickness is bound to be very, very, very small difference, I would definitely think that there wouldn't be a problem with it. I mean, even...

Re: Good Robots

Don't worry. I've seen people take pics, mental notes, etc. and come back with a similar design the next competition. The thing is, every time I've seen it they don't match up to the design and...

Re: Tsunami Warning--Nanakuli VEX Tournament

I think that its better to be safe than sorry in a situation like this. Don't let it vex you.

Re: Good Robots

Never say that something is impossible. Just because a team is a big name and has a successful design doesn't mean it can't be 1-upped in the most unexpected way.

I'm not sure if these have been asked, but it's something that sparked my attention.

Re: Skills Challenges

You could, but what if you drop it? It happens, and you just scored on youself. The best design is one that can recover from mistakes like that.

Yeah, well I think this year is partly aimed to...

Re: Skills Challenges

It all depends on design. Dumpers and conveyors both have the problem of size control, aka how they go from the small to medium (only a minimal span if youre counting from the medium's diameter) and...

Re: Intake Solutions

Well, that's true from a small to medium. But remember, if you want to have large ball functionality, then thats what throws things off a little bit.

Regardless, good luck!

Re: Intake Solutions

Implementing I think is the fun part of building robots. You have so many parts alike, but one different design and function can make something spectacular.

Now, I've tried zip ties and I've found...

Re: Intake Solutions

Think not like a VEX competitor from the past whos seem zip ties, belts, etc. That'll lead to a lot of the same design. Instead, think like an engineer. They always find inspiration from the...

Re: Problems with competition template

One way I've seen it done is a jumper system - no jumpers means normal code, one jumper says autonomous, and a differently placed jumper means driver control.
