VEX terms and inside jokes

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forums and since I haven’t found a thread talking much about this, I’d like to ask you all about VEX terms and inside jokes. I believe this will not only help me learn more about the forums and it’s users, but help other new users as well!

To start off, I’d like to define one:
When someone puts “(20 characters)” or “(20 char)” it means that their comment was not long enough to be posted, since the forums only allow 20 character posts to avoid non constructive comments.

(At least I think that’s what it means but that’s why I’m asking y’all)

Anyways, have a great Spin Up season y’all!

Water game is so overused and unfunny that it flips back to being funny, and it will likely never go away
Comparable to the space game

Yeah, when I was at Worlds earlier this year, as they were unveiling the new game everyone was chanting “Water game”. Just thought it was kind of funny.

I enjoy the variety of screw material we are allowed to choose from. It really adds a layer of optimization to chassis strength and weight.
