[JSR] What is Vex Robotics?
John - I love how we have all this technology in Vex that is similar to real life equipment. It gives me great joy to be able to tinker and compete with it all.
Shim- Explain about the Vex community.
John - The vex community is very accepting and wants to help everyone succeed. In our school, team's always help each other with any topic or material, and out of school we form bonds with teams we compete with!
Shim- What does Vex mean to you?
John - Vex is a way for me to get involved with robotics while giving back to my community through all of the outreach we do.
Shim- What is your goal in Vex?
John - My goal is to be able to bring up others in what they want to do, while being competitive enough to be a formidable challenge in any competition.
John - Our team needs to have better communication and more dedication. The work done by our team is very lopsided right now and we need to change that if we are to go to state.
Shim- What is the robot your team built capable of doing?
John- Our robot is primarily a stacker ‘bot, which can reach all towers and stack 9 to 11 cubes based on positioning. We also have a passive anti-tilt, which ends up giving our robot a solid drive base with a 6 wheel drive
Through my interview with Silas I learned alot about what it means to be a team member competing in Vex Robotics competitions. It has not been stated what the topic will be for the next competition, but I am sure that many students will be eagerly awaiting whatever robotics challenges await them in the future.
