Being new to the VEX world and having the competition field at my school. What do people do with the previous years competition field parts? Keep them? Trash them? Use them for other purposes? Just looking for ideas.
If you have the room, I’d keep them. Usually there is no real use for them in future competitions, so most of it probably ends up in landfill, but for example the Clean Sweep balls are the same size as this year’s.
You can also use the game or game objects for classroom competitions and challenges, or for example the cubes are great to support things such as jack up the robot to reach underneath.
Vex should really look in to committing to making all the game pieces recyclable or reusable.
Like last Years and year before that were already plastic so why not recycle…
My high school team used to give all of our field elements to the local preschool in our town. They make perfect toys for young kids.
You can reuse them for classroom competition to help teach the new students how the robots work and how to solve problems related to VRC.
