I remember that I heavily abused this rule. In my local area, people just copied the designs from the top Chinese teams and EVERYONE’s robot was the same. It made the matches so boring, so I decided to shake things up… with a wall bot. Everyone’s autonomous would leave them sitting in their corners, so I would quickly run over and deploy my wall around them. I used a scissor lift type of design with hundreds of rubber bands and the only thing that would keep the thing from expanding naturally was if it was held parallel to the ground and its own weight (steel) was able to hold it. But I had it on an axel and if the wall turned even slightly, it would come shooting out with a massive thud as it hit the wall. It was so strong that I had hurt myself multiple times during practice when I was in its way. I would position myself so that I was on the inside of the towers around the opponents’s score zone and one of the robots. The towers made sure that they could not push me out of the way no matter what they did. No matter how hard they pushed, they could never escape, unless their teammate helped push in the opposite direction further up the wall, but at that point they had no body scoring for a good chunk of time, so it was still worth it even if he escaped. In some incredible moments, I could even trap both of the opponents robots or block them from the corners and it would allow for an extremely easy win. Now before something says, “You can’t trap, it’s against the rules.”, I didn’t actually break the rule because “trapping” technically only counts if the robots area is 1 tile or less and the opponent had roughly 1 1/2 tile square area.
This will be my first year in robotics and I am really excited, my brother was in it so I know kinda the basics but I am so eager to learn and start a new journey
Do you think you'll ref? I graduated last year and reffed a couple events this year, it's great to be able to see all the cool designs and gameplay without having to stress over whether the lift can actually lift things or if there's really time to swap out that motor before the next match.
RIP me. My final for this semester will be winning a competition against 17 other teams by doing this competition but the cubes assigned colors to teams, balls are the only things that can go into towers. And the 2 towers and cube areas across from the spawns are in an autonomous zone where we cant cross that line unless the robot is in autonomous mode
I don't know about the app, but Vex U is for students that graduated from high school, and VRC is for current middle and high school, I'm pretty sure. Hope this helps.
So, does that mean if you stack cubes in a single tower that the point keeps increasing? So if we put 2 green cubes in 1 tower the green cubes are now worth 3 points each?
You can take opponents blocks out of their goal, right? Or are they finalized when they're in the goal, also I can only imagine that 1 annoying team that is going to make a robot specifically to de-basket cubes
@@isaachlloyd the v5 is water proof so many people are assuming that VEX would do a water game. Despite the v5 being the latest system, many teams still run cortex which is likely part of the reason why VEX has yet to do a water game. The other reason lies in that most places, where tournaments are held, are not fond of having a tank of water inside their facility.
VEXi know this year's is cancelled because of the virus. But can you guys add a section where it's like battlebots. Like people can use any VEX gear to make a battling robot and there is a competition to see who is the champion. Would it be possible to add this next year. (and plz come to Memphis in the U.S!!)
I would add a hanging bar into the game; the game is too simple. The hang itself should be 0 points but cubes in the hanging robot would be treated as if they were in a goal zone (basically another goal zone when you hang) Would be a good addition
New colours!? But my brain is hardwired to only see red and blue, this is to overwhelming.
Too*
Is your name a Hitchhikers guide reference?

FIRST: Am I a joke to you?
After actually watching the competition live, the pointing makes more sense. It definitely helps to see it in action. Thanks Vex!

This is gonna give me flashbacks to In The Zone when the towers accidentally fall over
Honestly!
Luckily they screw the towers this season lmaoooo
@@samsara2194 Not according to my team ;)
This game is going to be played underwater, right?
You now it is.
water game confirmed
Yes they had that every where at world's
No. I'm doing this in middle school
No it's not
not a water game but at least there is not any expansion limits
My thing is if it ah to be played on the new system

This is going to be an insane game. Good luck everyone!
The amount of clawbots that will be in this though
Good luck
ours is gonna be a big cube XD
I've only seen a couple clawbots. This competition seems to have favored stackers with rolling intakes.
This year is going to be interesting. Good luck everyone!!
welp, 4bar/reverse 4bar lifts are coming back hard this year.
Yeet
Yous wos wrong s
Finally, we have been waiting for this!
Alright I've only been counting every second, it's finally here
I'm just an frc kid, but this seems pretty neat
Same here
Me too
This will be my first year in robotics and I am really excited, my brother was in it so I know kinda the basics but I am so eager to learn and start a new journey
Props to you guys

Skyrise round 2: Electric Boogaloo
2025B - Fun isn't something one considers when balancing these Minecraft cubes. But this... does put a smile on my face.
That's crazy! I wish I wasn't graduating this year so I could do this one! That looks so fun!
Do you think you'll ref? I graduated last year and reffed a couple events this year, it's great to be able to see all the cool designs and gameplay without having to stress over whether the lift can actually lift things or if there's really time to swap out that motor before the next match.
Who's hyped for next year tournament?
When the game was announced live I thought the towers were filled with water.
This is going to be my first year and I’m already freaking out
It's alright, mine too, and we have had to squish in extra build days.
lol me too
do you guys think turning point is more easy to win the match or this year game?
I just did this competition and we got second, were going.to regionals
yeah we are going to the regionals in our country in 15. We got third
At 2:23 it shows DRow for DGC on the v5 screen
Thanos Cubes
bruh
There's a DRow for GDC sticker on the brain! just noticed this at the end of my rookie season...
this was a good one.
The robot at 2:22 says "D ROW" drow for GDC? lol
Wishing everyone good luck this year from team 10622D
The announcement for this at world's was AWESOME!!
How is everyone disposing the cubes? Can we send them back somehow?
RIP me. My final for this semester will be winning a competition against 17 other teams by doing this competition but the cubes assigned colors to teams, balls are the only things that can go into towers. And the 2 towers and cube areas across from the spawns are in an autonomous zone where we cant cross that line unless the robot is in autonomous mode
What is the limit to cubes allowed to be picked up, or is there not one?
I'm pretty sure there is no limit, but you don't want to be picking up any more than 8 (for balance)
I saw this live last night at worlds
I see DRow for GDC
Agreed
woah this actually looks like a really good, indepth game... I see a ton of de scoring in the future
This reminds me of the year with the cones a little bit. Also it’s weird seeing other colors besides the red and blue
Interesting. Changing point values?
Is VRC different from EDR or are they the same thing?
VRC is also only for Middle and High School, I'm pretty sure.
I can’t wait, this is going to be so cool
Is there a limit to how many cubes you can hold at once?
No, there isn't a hoarding limit
@Mathis Morissette wat hapen if I put 67 cube on top? Do you wan to explode?
1:59 - 2:04 thats one epic auto
What are the sizes requirement in each robots for tower takeover?
Do u know how different between vex u and skill in VRC hub app? And why are they separate in the app?
I don't know about the app, but Vex U is for students that graduated from high school, and VRC is for current middle and high school, I'm pretty sure. Hope this helps.
So, does that mean if you stack cubes in a single tower that the point keeps increasing? So if we put 2 green cubes in 1 tower the green cubes are now worth 3 points each?
Heh. The cubes have to be INSIDE the tower. This means the 2nd green cube will do nothing.
why is this game so colorful
So where do you put the water?
You can take opponents blocks out of their goal, right? Or are they finalized when they're in the goal, also I can only imagine that 1 annoying team that is going to make a robot specifically to de-basket cubes
well, the main goals have a protected area, so I don't think so(but you could always take cubes out of neutral towers >:D)
Greatest 2 minutes in robotics because if it was 2.5 minutes it would be a lie
What model is the robot used in this video called?
What's the background music
Where’s all the water? Good luck to all from 11691A
When will the iq one come out
I thought this year would have a water game 😓
why does everybody think that?

Ooo my god why no water game
Can't wait to begin
Product reveal?
thank you vex very cool
Awesome but way more difficult than next level
But is DRow on GDC now?
Not a fan of claw bots really...but this is gonna be a good game👍 good luck coming from 99208 (broken bow)
Good luck people it looks interesting
Water games looking great!
This looks LIT!

YES! LOOKS AMAZING
Ohhhh... I was unimpressed, until you twisted it. This will be very interesting.
Exciting Season!
What about SeaPerch?
ITS OUT BOIIIIS
Every year it just gets more interesting... too bad I down do VEX anymore :(
There goes my sanity...
i hope theres more games like this on hudgames
I have a GPA of 2.938 what makes my teacher think I know what i am doing

@@isaachlloyd depressing
This is so great.
This looks cool. Best of luck from 54744A.
Yaaa im so excited
thank you, very cool
Soooo.... 2021fire game?
When I look back 1 year I’ll see how far I’ve gone
I wonder what type of robots will be used
Perhaps robots that would carry these cubes easily and can stack them
Really?
Nope, I have a feeling there will be 80% intake robots
Still waiting for water game
Wait where's all the water 😂
The water game will come soon......soon
Who’s got V5
highrise and skyrise:
Hope to see you at world's. -6024D, The InCOGnitos.
How was worlds?
Double reverse 4 arm, specialty made claw should make it easy
Drow for GDC
This looks interesting
LET'S GO!!!!
My class is competing in this lol my teacher played this
Let’s go Bois !
Good Luck Teams :D
Elegant!
Where's Roland in the chat?
So cool
This time I'm not losing worlds
