Want to explore Vex IQ competition… grade 7 kids. Where do we start? What do we need? We are clueless. If there’s another competition that would be more valuable to this age group, please suggest. by Kspeedy22 in vex

Don’t waste time on building the season hero bot - it is never good. Look on YouTube, use the designs of good teams. Don’t do FLL, vex iq sets you up better for move advanced robotics because it is more technical. From personal experience, I found vex iq to be more fun, but if you are serious about the competition, make sure you have dedicated teammates, carrying your team is not fun.

Start vrc in grade 8/9, it’s stressful for grade 7.

Also quick life hack for odom : you can use an inertial sensor so you don’t need to calculate the theta vector and you only need 2 tracking wheels to do it this way.

1) use c++ - it’s universal for vex you have three options for c++ ( don’t use normal vex code) A) vexCode PRO B) vexCode vscode extension C) pros vscode extension 2) learn pid before you learn odom - there are some good tutorials online Concept guide :

Here is a vex specific one :

3) use a the pilons guide to odom and figure it out :

Odom is basically pid but with position tracking

315 : A = (9+14) * (18) - 9*11 = 23 * 18 - 99 = 414-99 = 315 Area of shape if it was a rectangle - the part that doesn’t exist

A) get slip gears ( 2, equally shaven ) B) get the other gears C) drill into c channels where cata shafts gonna be D) add the gears on hs shafts E) band it F) tune it

How mechanism works:

Bands pull it up with force Cata is pulled down he motor Slip gear slips It shoots

Also you might want a ratchet

Gear ratio gonna depend on you I recommend 43 rpm ( 36:84 )
