Just got done building and programming my teams Vex 15lbs robot named "tetanus". We got all the way to the finals and creamed the top team on the way their 25points to 10points. We were 4/5 going into the finals. We were up against a robot called C.O.D. It had huge rep for scoring bigtime points in a short period of time but it had two major flaws. It was topheavy and it was pretty slow which got our hope us. When entering the final we scored 10 extra points for autonomous mode which means the robot runs itself and scores points without any signals from the transmitters but so did team C.O.D. Tetanus did very well! We racked up 15 points in 30seconds which is good. We got all the point poles in our corner and we were losing by 2 points in the last 10 seconds of the competition so we decided to move one more post into our territory to score 5 extra points. We the last 3-4 seconds came around and we got jammed in the corner. If it wasnt for my foolish driving mistake we woulda won 1st place but Im still very happy. We as a matter of fact did win the overall creativity award and most important of all the good sportsmanship award. So basically we won 2/3 awards that were given. I have a good short video of Tetanus and C.O.D.

Here are the pics... Im the one in the dark blue shirt.

I's say so! To bad we were only 1/2 inch away from winning all three. My driving ability flew out the window in the last 10 seconds. I paniced.

Nice Job. Our school has a robotics team for the FIRST competitions. We play with VEX robots during the off season. We are team 1100! We lost in the semi finals in the boston regional but we won the GM Industrial Design Award. Basically the judges liked our design.

Edit: I can see what you guys are doing. That was a challange for us a few years ago (I think). We had to pick up rubber tubes and place them on a rack.
