If you REALLY want to be a team’s main driver, join a VEX AI team! Because of the way it’s set up, nobody else will even ask for the main driver position.
VEX AI is the perfect platform for beginning teams and programmers. It’s simple to start. The platform is made for beginning teams because one of the robots has a 24” limit (bigger than the typical 18”) and the sensors make programming easier than ever before!

Always use robot c blocks with v5. Best software for it out there.

Wait but two motor drive is fine with correct gear ratios

Use the baseplate.
Make sure you use as many gear ratios as possible to make your robot more complicated.
Use only traction wheels.
Use the v4 claw.
I totally didn’t do this for my first comp.

Hot glue is the best way to hold your robot together. Glue together bars, and glue big clumps on axles to act as shaft collars. It’s also a great lubricant for gears and sprockets. It also lubricates the inside of bearing flats so axles can spin better.

Use zipties for everything. Motor to chassis mount, no problem! Ziptie! Mounting your shafts, ziptie! Zipties are the best, screw elastics, use zipties instead.

Just a quick disclaimer, zipties are apparently a pretty good idea for attaching motors to the chassis

Build a robot with a bunch of weapons so you can disable all other robots and score some points by just using your bot as a pushbot. Insta-win everytime

someone actually built a janky robot with only zipties and barely any screws and made it to state finals
