Description
This year the TEECA East Robotics Challenge will be a variation of the VEX U Robotics Competition, High Stakes. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your competitor by Scoring Rings on Stakes, Placing Mobile Goals, and Climbing at the end of the Match. The TEECA competition will consist of four components: a bracket tournament based on High Stakes (see this video), a robot skills challenge (Driving Skills), a programming skills challenge (Autonomous Coding Skills), and a team interview on robot design. This year, a design notebook will be required and will be scored as a percentage of the team interview.
The challenge will follow VEX UNIVERSITY GAME RULES AND ROBOT MODIFICATIONS however there are some modifications since this is a smaller event. Each TEECA Robotics team will compete with only ONE robot no larger than 24” X 24” X 24”. For this TEECA East Robotics Challenge, you do NOT need to be an officially registered Vex U team. Our challenge at Rehoboth Beach is NOT a Vex U qualifying event, however, since your robot will conform to the VexU requirements, you will be able to reuse your robot for the rest of the VexU season in tournaments around the country. All robots must conform to the rules governing a UNIVERSITY VEX event (VEX U). See Section 6 from the Vex U game manual for the game manual.
Notes
A VRC team typically consists of 2-5 students. A TEECA team must be comprised of students from the registered college/university, with a maximum of one graduate student. As outlined in the VEX Manual, only two drivers and one coach can be on the field during a match. Any student may participate on the team (help build/program) even if they are unable to attend the TEECA East competition.
