So over the summer, a member of my team and I started designing, building, and programming a robot that would compete in the Vex Change Up game. However, the biggest concern we have with this year’s problem is if there would be any competitions for this season. To be more specific, due to the fact that we are amidst a pandemic it would be hard for organizations to hold competitions. All in all, what I want from this chain is your thoughts on how organizations and schools will hold competitions during this season of Vex Change Up.

There are multiple threads with a similar topic already.
@xenon27 has found a great visual metaphor for how the current events affect our neck of the woods in the 2020-2021 season:

However, I do not want to open this topic to endless frustrating political back and forth - this is not what this forum was created for.
I would like to start a discussion of what every one of us could realistically do to make this season happen or, at least, to salvage bits and pieces of what will be left of it, in the wake of the unmitigated Covid-19 …
How does your team manage to hold team meet during pandemic?
We are a private team and used to have all kids meet at coach’s house.
That seems to be out of the question. We plan to start team meet just outdoor and discuss how we build robots. But each member goes home and build their own robot.
Any better ideas out there?
Hi guys I was thinking that Vex might be canceled this year. Due to Covid-19 and all the things happening in the world make me come to thought that may be Vex Season might be canceled. In our county they are still figuring out how to open schools.
I am curious to see where other people stand towards competing this season. As this season may still occur but there will be many limitations causing an abnormal seasons and different competitive atmosphere. There is so many other productive things to do such as cybersecuirty, CTF, exercising, working, learning new skills. Are you willing to deal with an abnormal seasons filled with many precautions or will simply not compete to save the hassle of dealing with the restrictions.
