Talk and reminise about this game:
oh boy I hope my v5 ships in time for this new game!
Balls Balls Balls Balls!
tldr; balls!
Oh my its my first year doing vex! Time to make a 4 bar lift propelled with sprockets on a cortex!

4 motor 2-speed pneumatic shifting drive, 2 motor flywheel w/ pneumatic angle changing hood, 1 motor intake, combination motor/pneumatic cap flipper/arm.
Wait can we use current pneumatic limits?
I need to watch the reveal video again
Interesting idea to use balls but not score them directly! Also the flags remind me of the Stop & Go stations from the Thomas the Tank Engine Wooden Railway sets. (Maybe someone named Thomas, or better yet, Thomas Edward Henry, will win Worlds this year like 5225A with the traffic cone hats did in ITZ.)
Edit: Thomas Edward Henry, Edward Henry Gordon, Henry Gordon James, maybe Gordon James Percival, Percy Toby Duck (or Montague), and of course Donald Douglas, or twins named Donald and Douglas Oliver.
Iβm going to be a division finalist in the US open with a cap only bot.

Man, this game is actually more fun and challenging.
I hope the games in coming years are as good as this one.
Ooh i bet the next three games are going to be better than this one.
Ships in 8 weeks
Iβm so excited for my first year of vex!! I canβt wait to start building with pretty much no thinking ahead.
β¦ shooting mechanism? nah, Iβm just going to build several different claws for caps that range from sorta unreliable to very unreliable
hey we got third place in our first competition, mostly because we are super consistent on driving up the platform!! Maybe we figured something out here! We totally didnβt get carried!
β¦we really arenβt doing any where near as well in any other competition, maybe we didnβt think this through
Looks like I wonβt be able to get the new motors until next year
