Who’s coming this weekend to Rolling Meadows for the 3rd annual Wildstang VEX Competition? We’re taking a big step this year by increasing in size over 60% - we’re up to 35 teams this year and we’ll be using 2 competition fields (plus a dedicated skills field). We’re looking forward to seeing many familiar faces from the past few years as well as a bunch of new ones.

We’re also hoping to step up the fun this year with a special performance! We’ll find out tomorrow while we’re setting up the event if we can pull it off. Assuming it all works out, I think all the participants and spectators (not to mention the volunteers) will really enjoy it. If you’re anywhere near our event and not already planning to attend, please consider stopping by!

1200B, and 1200A are for sure going. Some other 1200’s are going but I can not confirm.

Our club (Cornerstone Robotics) will be taking a total of three teams to Wildstang.

Team 323A Shockwave
Team 323B Bot-E Builders
Team 323C TechStorm

We are all looking forward to this competition.

I just want to thank the leaders of last years Wildstang competition for a greatly run competition. It was VERY smooth and you knew what you were doing. Can’t wait!

God Bless,

2177 - the FIVE (Fantastic Innovative VEX Engineers) from Silver Lake Intermediate School in Oconomowoc WI will be there and we are looking forward to the competition. We notice some awful good teams attending so we expect and are looking forward to a high level of competition.

We LOVE special performances and are looking forward to a wonderful event put on by Wildstang! We are hoping you can “pull it off.”

See you all on Saturday!

Special performance sounds interesting. I am very glad about the two fields for competition as it would take a very long time to get all of the matches done in time. Looking forward to tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

Are you sure about that? Only A, B, C, E, F are signed up. No D or G.

10

the way things went last night your assessment seems correct

11

Will the practice field be set up right at 8AM?

I know last year, I got there at 8AM, and they didn’t have it set up.

Also, is it going to be a full field? We need to perfect our autonomous, so we would need a full field!

Thanks :smiley:

12

No, the practice field will not be set up at 8AM. Teams 536 and 1200 are bringing the practice and skills fields from Wisconsin. We’ll get them set up as soon as we can, but don’t expect them to be ready until 8:30 or later. The practice field will be regulation with all the goals, gates, and game pieces.

13

OK, thank you!

14

Team 1200F will be there. lookin forward to some strong competition

See everyone tomorrow

Team 1200C will be present tomorrow; my team and I are looking forward to the tournament and some awesome competition.

Good luck to all the other teams that are competing!

We worked really good together!

Good luck!
