I disagree. They are the complete opposite poles. Best advice, Worst advice. One is where newbies in VEX can get advice on WHAT to do and the other is advice on WHAT NOT to do.
Annnd to keep this on topic…
Ask a mod (THE mod) to merge two threads that are completely different (He could smite you. Or worse, send you to the deepest darkest dungeons of the VEX Forum). Please don’t take that the wrong way @Ethan5956F.
ahhh, the wheels! (20 characters)
But they’re both advice, no? Wouldn’t it be better to just have all the advice in one place?
Actually, I’d have to partially disagree. This thread should be merged, but not with the one previously mentioned.
This thread should be merged with the official Change Up Q/A. I think many questions found in the Q/A have actually been answered in this thread.
I agree with brandt since he has 19 PhD’s
WOW. that’s a lot! ummm… my reasoning is they shouldn’t be merged because the two types of advice could get confused and someone could take it literally…
I did that. My nose really liked liked that tray. It started blushing.
building, coding and notebooking is optional,everything else is a must

Use 2 VEX IQ brains if you need to add more sensors.
I’ll do ya one better. I was filing down a shaft, and I accidentally ran my finger down the non-filed side when I made a stroke, and there was so much blood, I couldn’t tell which finger was bleeding until I hit it with flex seal.
Ouch. That must’ve hurt. One time I was using a bench grinder for a c-channel and somehow a piece snapped off and shot up into my chest. No blood, but it was still painful
use bolt cutters to cut c channels. it’s way more efficient and it makes really clean cuts
I normally use a hacksaw but I was just using it to smooth out the edges
The OP didn’t specify whether the advice was specifically about Vex:
So go ahead and setup a modded Minecraft server with a custom modpack, It’ll all go very smoothly.
You won’t have any conflicting mods, the server won’t error out for no reason, and you definetly won’t get any “Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.EncoderException: java.lang.NullPointerException” errors when trying to join it.
Never read the manual. It’s a waste of time.
Motors are useless. Replace all your motors for air canisters. They are so much better.
Blast the Onion podcast in your very “echoy” robotics room so that when your teacher/coach walks in he hears about why children should be encouraged to stop cyber-bullying and instead bully each other in-person.
if your robot is too unbalanced, just put another brain or 2 to make it balanced
