This looks a little familiar :joy:

No vertical expansion limit…
Wow!

Looks like it will be fun, some decent strategy chances. But I’m sad with the tiny amount of usable VEXIQ parts for either field elements or game elements. It’s normally easy to sell schools on the $100 game cost since there is at least $70 worth of parts. It’s not great to throw all that stuff away at the end of the year. (Like this year with 3 balls and some plastic pipe as trash)

Whaaaaaaaaat
IQ has red and blue teams now?
I like how they kept it at only 2 teams working together, but different colored teams? I am quite interested as to how this will play out.

Looks familiar to anyone involved in FRC back in the day as well…

It’s still two teams working together. Only now, there’s color specific loading zones so bots have to run the length of the field/work together to get those multi color stacks.

I like how this year there’s not live scoring. That was annoying for Rapid Relay. I also like how there is less randomness on the loader. This game seems like it will be difficult to make a robot for, but fun to play.

<R12> is batteries now. I need to do something with my name. :sweat_smile:

I will not miss live human based scoring. Besides, the roboteers knew and that’s all that really matters.

Do you guys know how exactly signature events work? Like, do you have to earn your way into it?

You need

  1. Money
  2. Quick fingers to sign up the moment the event opens up. Some of them more popular ones fill within an hour.

Any registered team can sign up to attend a Signature Event. There is a separate Early Bird system just for Signature Events. For all the details, visit this page:
