this looks like fun but 1086 vex gets to choose the febuary challenge because he won the december one.

6

7

Yes, I will let THIS challenge to have non-vex items. Only because I want to see what you can do :slight_smile:

8

I mean seriously…

If we had more than one, that would be more chances to win and I’ve noticed some are quite difficult.

It would be good to have at least one for our newer users!

That would leave the more experienced user to try their hand (or brain) at a challenge that may acctually increase their skills!

When I originaly posted the idea I was just kind of defending another User now I have acctually helped to come up with a good idea!

Yay for me!

Ok…my bot is done. Hahah a little bit early eh?

12

wow! Send me a vid. of it running:rolleyes:

13

I’m looking at your bot and I see what I’m guessing is the gripper but I don’t see how you would pick up the stick without setting it in the gripper. Please explain.

14

?whose bot?
k, bobot is it over 24x24inches?

Remember: I am running on pure programming!

15

no, its not. IM sorry, but i cant send a vid of it running because i dont have that capability on my camera. And it dosent grab it scoops up the sticks.As in a back it up, lower boom, len go forward and it picks them up, then i turn the boom and set down the sticks on the flatbed

16

it’s not even februrary yet and issn’t the january challenge still going on?

17

i’m still waiting on 1086’s official response. though i do plan on doing the iller’s bot as well

18

Bobot, Shorten the bot, then your good, k?

1086VEX, Make a topic called Febuary challenge: Hard
~as it says in its name, make the course hard.

NRTopping, I know it is not Febuary yet, but the challenge will end on Febuary 31st

19

I like the idea of haveing 3 challenges, another good idea woud be to have diferint difacultys like easy, mid, and hard.
