» News VEX Robotics Upgrade Incentive Program VEX Robotics is announcing two upgrade incentive programs aimed at assisting those customers who wish to acquire the latest VEX technology. We realize that discontinuing the VEXnet Upgrade puts a financial burden on VEX Robotics Competition teams that are planning to attend certain events that run on VEXnet only. The programs below are aimed at helping teams that want to upgrade their technology while minimizing their costs. These programs are not mandatory for participating in the VEX Robotics Competition. Most events in 2010-2011 will still allow teams to run on 75 MHz Crystals or VEXnet. Check with your event organizer to be sure what system is being used where you are competing. Please note that the 2011 VEX Robotics Competition World Championship will be a VEXnet only event. VEXnet Upgrade Return Incentive Send in both the VEXnet TX Upgrade Module and the VEXnet Microcontroller Upgrade Module (keep your VEXnet USB Adapter Keys) and receive a $50 coupon code good towards any purchase made on vexrobotics.com. See return instructions below for this program. This offer is valid for units returned from September 3 - December 17, 2010. PIC Microcontroller V0.5 AND 75 MHz Transmitter/Receiver Trade-In Program The following offer is valid ONLY for VEX Robotics Competition teams that are registered and paid for the 2010-2011 "Round Up" season. Send in a PIC Microcontroller V0.5, a 75 MHz Transmitter AND a 75 MHz Receiver and receive a coupon code for $200 off a VEXnet System Bundle. 1 Coupon Code will be given for each PIC Microcontroller and 75 MHz Transmitter/Receiver received. (e.g. Return 2 PIC Microcontrollers and 2 75 MHz Transmitters/Receivers and you will receive 2 coupons, each good for $200 off a VEXnet System Bundle.) Only one $200 coupon may be used per VEXnet System Bundle ordered. VEXnet System Bundles are backordered until mid-October. This offer is valid for units returned from September 3 - December 17, 2010 for teams that are registered and paid VEX Robotics Competition teams for the 2010-2011 season. Return Instructions Fill out the Upgrade Incentive Program form indicating what you are returning. Print out this form and include it with your returns (1 form per package). Customers are responsible for shipping charges and we recommend shipping via a trackable carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS with Delivery Confirmation, etc.) to ensure your package arrives. Package your units appropriately and send them to: VEX Robotics, Inc. Upgrade Incentive Program 1519 Interstate 30 West Greenville, TX 75402 Once your units have been received and the contents verified the appropriate coupon codes will be e-mailed to you. Thanks, The VEX Robotics Team JVN's Design Challenge JVN's Design Challenge Want to win a VEX Classroom Lab Kit? -- John V-Neun, Director of Product Development for VEX Robotics, has a challenge for you! John is looking for a VEX Marvel – a "cool" robot such that inexperienced bystanders would enjoy interacting with it or be impressed by it's awesomeness. Entries are due by December 1st and winners will get a VEX Classroom Lab kit with Cortex.
