2021 - 2022 VEX Robotics Competition - Tipping Point

Great! Mustn’t worry - you asked for a mogo model and I started coaching, so it’s on me There will be other folk who can use the info too.

[High_Ground]

they remind me of pringles lol

[anonymouse]

They are ringles. They are superior to all chips.

[929VEli]

So, If i am not mistaken, Vex allows us to expand horizontally up to 36 inches once the match starts, vex also allows us to use 2x 100psi (max) pneumatics and we are allowed to posses as many mobile goals as we want whether we plan on scoring them or not (except for possessing opposing alliance mogo)? If all this is correct, we should take advantage and use the pneumatics, 36" max size, and the possession of goals to make a robot that can hold 2 + goals that are next to each other since that will be 26" (13" x2).

@929VEli

except for possessing opposing alliance mogo

You can actually grab the other alliances goals. Just don’t descore any of their rings. Everything else is correct.

[JoK]

Does anyone know the weight of the mogos? My team just got our field and was surprised by how heavy they were. I looked under Appendix A and couldn’t find it.

[DRow]

[teresajude]

DRow, I might suggest that they add that information to the field specs on the next revision to make it easier for people to find.

I was just getting ready to reply with where to find that. Nicely done!

[929VEli]

the tallest neutral mogo is about 4 lbs and the other mogos are a bit lighter than that.

[9MotorGang]

They used the gyro’s pitch variable.

[RoboCatz]

PI loop with the pitch readings from the IMU (you would know if you actually read the comments in the video).

[Ken747]

How many rings can I having in the robot ？

[Sylvie]

I advise you to read the game manual

[Ken747]

Game manual didn’t have rules, um… So no rules about how many rings？

[Sylvie]

If there’s no rule against something you’re free to do it.

[Ken747]

Ok, thank you very much

[VexTeamZ]

@VexTeamZ

Yeah. These last 2 games have just had one robot that everyone builds. I want one with a little variety, multiple ways to score. Also, an endgame, like the park in TP sounds fun.

@9MotorGang

hope it has an endgame task and involves climbing.

@Xenon27

all I know is that I really hope the game is more of a challenge than lifting a super light sphere 18" off the ground, because change up is probably the easiest game since maybe even elevation.

@RoboCatz

Also, it would be fun to have an endgame element like the balancing bridges in 2012 FRC & Crossover. Especially if its point value could make/break matches (like the center platform in TP)

@9MotorGang

Me mentro always talks about how he would like a game with movable objects

@Xenon27

would just like to have at least 2 game peices. change up and tower takeover both only had one game piece, imo 2 or more different peices makes for much more variety and interesting robots.

I also hope that it’s some kind of stacking/lifting game, since I haven’t had to opportunity to build a competitive lift, since the last game where big lifts were the best competitive option was itz and I was not good at building back then.

@VexTeamZ

Odd shaped elements

@Gameoa

Just give us a very thinly veiled ITZ copy

@RandomKidOnAVexTeam

Personally, I’d love to see the auton line removed.

@9MotorGang

I am really hoping for some diversity, multiple game objects/differ goals

@germany

Definitely something with an endgame for sure. Haven’t had one for two years, games are getting boring and it’s obvious that the robot designs are becoming more and more similar every year. Tbh I want a game where there is more than one thing to do that isn’t an endgame, while also having an endgame (like TP). I would actually love to see a game that has two primary scoring options and an endgame. TP didn’t really have this because shooter robots were so much easier to build and it was faster to score points that way, but I would like to see something where there are two options to be able to easily build something competetive to score in a way that is very similar to the other option.

@SOTRobotics

Another thing that would be cool, is to have an EDR game where there is a leveling bridge, similar to the concept of IQ’s Crossover

@VexTeamZ

just really want an EDR version of Ringmaster. That would make me so happy. So

@9MotorGang

am pretty sure that next year’s game will have a yellow game object. We haven’t had anything yellow in the past two years, and we have had the other 5 main colors.

@929VEli

hope for foam game elements that weigh more than typical foam or plastic elements because the game elements for next seaso

Well, I guess we got what we asked for.

[SOTRobotics]

Pretty sure I asked for Water game, but sure I guess

[lacsap]

@SOTRobotics

Pretty sure I asked for Water game, but sure I guess

they did deliver a water game with VEXcode VR Coral Reef Cleanup

[Golf]

@Golf

I’m willing to guess there will be an endgame next year. We’re 2 seasons in a row without one, and I think it will be more than just parking somewhere.

You missed me >:(

@Golf

I’ve always wanted is horizontal posts to score on

I know they’re not parallel to the ground but still

@Golf

a ‘changeable’ goal.

@Golf

a team specific goal that can change teams.

This too
