Robot Arm B/C [Trial]

[lllazar]

Illinois is doing it, im kinda ticked...however it seems a lot easier to practice for and hopefully less expensive...

Indiana chose not to run Sumo, but they are using Robot Ramble instead: https://www.indianascienceolympiad.org/ ... ?newsID=29

well our school has one vex kits for us to use, that will be intresting cuz they run on 2.4ghz but we cant use that so we will try to wire em

[lllazar]

I personally think we should try to find crystals with other frequencies - do you guys know the cheapest place to buy crystals?

How do states get neat trial events like this?? (Robot arm looks awesome) I ask because my state (Alabama) never seems to get any . . .

[robotman]

Most times I think they just decide to run it based off if they have a proctor willing to do it and if they want to run extra events*

Does anyone else's state run robot ramble instead of sumo bots?

[twototwenty]

Apparently, robot arm is tentatively replaceing mission possible, and fermi questions are replacing sumo bots I got this from the mission possible forum, 2011-2012 topic.

I believe that state directors are sometimes asked to run specific trial events by nationals, when national is considering adoption. I also believe that sometimes it works the other way - states propose an event and are asked to demonstrate its feasibility by running it as a trial.
