VEX Skyrise video
The new game for the 2014-2015 VEX season has been released and it is called VEX Skyrise. It is going to be challenging but better in a way because when teams build their own Skyrises the other alliance can't interfere. See the video!

Today we studied the motor which powers the wheel. VEX motors can be geared for more speed or more torque. We learned how to change the gearing of the motors. We also studied the advantages and disadvantages of the two.
Today we focused on wheel size. Wheel size effects the speed of the VEX robot. We did three tests with two different wheels. We did this to find which wheel would go faster to the other side. Both of the wheels went the same amount of rotations. That doesn't mean they went the same speed. The bigger wheel went faster because its diameter was larger than the smaller wheel, thus it takes more time to complete a full rotation.
