Release next year's game early

I’d support this idea not for any reason other than because I don’t like that Worlds is during finals here xD

The worlds dates suck this year, no doubt about that. But having a month or two to rebuild/prepare is nice imo.

I thought middle school VRC Worlds was May 3-5. Please correct me if I am wrong. It says this on Robot events, and that is what they said at my state tournament.

Yes you are correct. It is May 3-5, but VRC Worlds 2022 is not on that schedule, what you’re looking at on what he posted is the tentative dates for 2023 worlds, not the dates for this years one.

I really enjoy seeing it at worlds, and it wouldn’t be the same if it was released at any other place time.

So people can modify/ build new bots before worlds.

Does anyone know where you can preorder next year’s game elements?
(Wasn’t able to qualify and want to get started right after worlds (my break))

They’ll be on vexrobotics.com when they are available for pre-order, just like last year, and the year before…

I couldn’t find them even though the March 14 date has passed…

They are not yet available for pre-order, then… Rest assured, it won’t be kept a secret when they become available for pre-order. It will be all over the forum.

Can someone post the link to the pre-order? Because there’s no picture, I’m not sure I’m looking at the right competition.

This is for the full game kit:

If for whatever reason you want the individual field/game kits they’re here:

(the individual game/field element kits are all included in the full game kit, so if you’re just looking for a full field’s worth of stuff go to the first link)

Thank you, thank you! My searches led me to a picture of a blue box, and I was pretty sure that wasn’t the right one.

Wouldn’t that mean that next season will likely be 1 month shorter? :thinking:

Huh?

I was saying that I don’t like the world’s dates because of conflicts with AP testing. But at the same time, I would not support moving worlds a month earlier as Korndog suggested because I like the time to prepare my robot. I think worlds should go back to the dates it used to be (April 22nd ish) if possible.
