The Vex Robotics Design System
is a kit
to
introduce students to advanced
robotics and engineering . The Vex Robotics Design
System allows students to program the microcontroller
with the "easy C" programming language.
This program is for
Leominster residents or Leominster students in grades
7-9. Students compete head to head with other robotic teams
on a game floor to score more points than their opponent in an
exciting game.
The VEX robots can run in autonomous mode or with remote
controlled input.
Innovation
First holds the trademark for VEX Robotics and
manages all tournaments.
The VEX Robotics Competition offers unique and
challenging team-based games
that put high school and middle school students' engineering and technology
skills to the test. Students with guidance from mentors, collaborate
to build the most innovative robots possible and work together during
competitions to obtain the most points possible. In addition tohaving
a great time they build amazing robots. Through their participation in the
VEX Robotics Competition and their work within their team, students learn
many academic and life skills.
There are a total of ninety-eight (98) Sacks and four (4) Bonus
Sacks available as Scoring Objects in the game. Most Scoring
Objects begin in designated locations on the field, while some
are available to be loaded prior or during the Match. Each Robot
(smaller than 18”x18”x18” to start) begins a match on one of
their Alliance Starting Tiles. There are ten (10) scoring areas,
five (5) of each color, of varying heights which teams can Score
Sacks or Bonus Sacks in. Alliances earn a bonus for having the
most Robots of their own color touching their Alliance Starting
Tiles at the end of the Match. A bonus is awarded to the
Alliance that has the most total points at the end of the
Autonomous Period.
SACK ATTACK
OVERVIEW
VEX Sack Attack is played by two
alliances composed of two teams each, who compete in matches
consisting of a fifteen second autonomous period followed by one
minute and forty-five seconds of driver-controlled play. The
object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing
Alliance by Scoring Sacks and Bonus Sacks in your colored Floor
Goals, Troughs and High Goal, and by having the most Robots of your
color Parked at the end of the Match.
Top teams from around the world
participating in local, regional and national VEX Robotics Competitions will
qualify for VEX Robotics international competitions and the VEX Robotics
World Championship event held in the Spring of 2012.
