So glad the speaker went away. Primary use case was sucking up student time to play “another one bites the dust”.

Odds are some younger kids will end up using it to be obnoxious

Wouldn’t it be cool to allow students to make their own VRC legal add-on modules within limited areas of functionality, like the sound? Perhaps, even have a special award category that judges design and build process of such electronics, subject to special rules and limitations, of course.

So so so sad to think this is the best thing that people want to focus the top minds at VEX creating,

My team, during In the Zone, did a cone counter, which was somewhat helpful (auto-scoring cones on the mogo had to target specific height and if it missed, the second driver had a chance to tick the internal counter up or down, with audible, spoken feedback from the robot). They missed the speaker …

[image] nenik: Anyway, adding external speaker to V5 would be quite easy. The smart ports could be reconfigured to act as a RS485 UART (up to 115200bps I believe) with user-code provided payload, actually up to 921600 (I think that’s within 3% allowed tolerance)

Oh wow… forgot about that one. What a throwback. Ok maybe V6 can you guys do that though cuz it would be really cool.
