I figured that it would be good to start a megathread for advertising our online challenge entries before the forums are flooded with individual posts. Post a link to any challenge entries you’re particularly proud of, or give feedback on other entries.
Aw man, we have a hard enough time just getting the match control towers to work. Now we have a disco floor to deal with! I’m sure the lights will be flaky. How is all that going to fit in the car?
I was having software issues all yesterday, so I had to say up all night to get it finished. I just finished my game design animation 20 minutes ago. I was clearly half asleep as I voiced it
I’m still very proud of it since it’s my first real animation.
Super bummed that there are entries for the VEX part CAD challenges that don’t have pictures. Would love to see them without all the hassle of downloading the .stl files.
Just a reminder that voting is now open. It’s good to see that there is now a simple thumbs up instead of rating on a scale, so there will be no more troll downvotes.
I particularly enjoyed the Barricade game and the Shia Labeouf promotional video. Good work!
Unfortunately, I was one of those poor souls. I wish that I checked the presentation of the actual upload
I call it the reinforced standoff coupler. It allows teams to combine standoffs to make lighter and rigid designs with high precision without cutting structural pieces, making it completely reusable.
I designed a compact transmission clutch system to open the door for changeable gear ratios in Vex. It helps with making smooth changes between gear ratios, and avoids the wear of linear transmissions.
It replaces high-strength gear inserts, is fully compatible with Vex system and can easily be shifted with a servo.
So far my favorites are the new IQ parts, the 45 degree plate for the inside / outside of C-channel supports and the metal rings that screw into standoffs. I need to look closer at the transmissions and pawl assemblies.
