== Low-Cost FIELD! ==

-

~~From Steve: I never actually assembled~~ the ~~lost-cost~~ field ~~from~~ the [http://www.vexrobotics.com/docs/vex-robotics-competition-field/low-cost-perimeter-rev-c.20090427.pdf ~~instructions on the~~ Vex Robotics site] UNTIL LAST NIGHT! Wow! There is NO REASON for every club/team not to have a field! It was easy to put together, and the cost was nominal (at most ~ $100. I think that my costs were closer to about $75.00) The result is very lightweight, yet sturdy, and transportable! Join us at one of our throw-downs and ~~take a look~~.

Note the field in the picture above! I built that field using the [http://www.vexrobotics.com/docs/vex-robotics-competition-field/low-cost-perimeter-rev-c.20090427.pdf Vex Robotics site instructions] and PVC.

~~I am bringing my~~ field ~~Tuesday - Oct 6~~, and ~~Oct 7th to~~ the ~~Downingtown Education Center~~. ~~Come see if you want one~~, ~~or would help make some like it~~.

Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.

Tuesday nights: 6:30-8:30pm. We will be working through the Yolande Petersen Guides below in Resources. (Downingtown Education Center, 355 Manor Ave, Downingtown, PA 19335) Our primary resource is ''VEX for the Technically Challenged''.
