Tony Norman, backed up parts
Intake rollers, order charts
Call customer service, but there’s no point even trying
3d printing, shadow bans
Motors die from lack of fans
Brain ports, dying, they say we’re just lying!
We didn’t start the fire
It was always roasting
Since Vex started posting
We didn’t start the fire,
Now we open forum
and we close it crying.
Allegations, coming out
Vex asks what we’re talking 'bout
Guyishere on forum organizing a strike
DQ’d, game foul, forum posts are getting loud,
Q&A, what a day, who are these refs anyway?
We didn’t start the fire

Monopolize, then complain
Shut down to the forum’s pain
End the controversy Vex, we’re begging you please
VRC and IFI, keeping their fans asking why
When’s it end, it’s unclear

@theosa I found it.
Ladies and gents, im back. More memes to come in celebration, i assure you.
Feels good.
Can anyone point me to where i can transfer my account stuff, btw?
Done, I merged your old account into this one.
Now this is the part where they ship you bubble wrap in a box, and make you pay $45 for it
I actually kind of want that so I can post it in cursed images, but it makes you get a v5 system bundle if you select no for everything ![]()

Loading expansion be like
Vex is the boiled hotdogs of robotics
![]()
yup
oh no…
Oh no he hasn’t communicated with us since he posted that is he ![]()
Can we all admit that a loser bracket option that the event holders could choose would be sick?
Its definitely better than Bo1, but having played it at the Chezy Champs FRC event, I still think Bo3 is better
Apollo 17, 50 years ago this week - VEX V5 General Discussion - VEX Forum?
Space game confirmed?
Off topic:
Update on this, FRC is officially running double elimination bracket at all of their events in the 2023 season: https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/blog/2022-double-elimination-playoffs-update
Me to the 2m drives at the local comp when my intake breaks and I have to play defense:

""
Bullying 2m drives with my 6m drive is s the most fun I have ever had in a vex match.
When you attach your shooter for the first time at the tournament and it starts working

At some point, just stop giving traffic to that site. The only way to really fight back here is to establish ourselves separately.
Puncher.
6m puncher, 1m intake & roller, 1m endgame
pneumatic drive ofc.
i love how i will literally not touch this site in 24 hours, and then once i open it up theres literally 3 unread messages waiting for me lol
Pump shotgun
i have thought of this, however, it is unfortunate because the people who need the most help are the ones who only know about the forum.
The real reason why people doing robotics never get girlfriends/boyfriends
You can put “Participated in VEX Robotics Competition” on your CV or resume or whatever it’s called, but not “got a girlfriend/boyfriend”
My excuse is always “A girlfriend won’t get me scholarships” ![]()
I think going to a robotics comp is objectively superior, who knows, you might meet someone you like there…
In a nutshell you can’t win a robotics comp by being at a school dance, but you could possibly get a boyfriend / girlfriend (depending on your preference ofc) by being at a robotics comp ![]()
Literally me.
We made an auton, it worked really well, we went out for lunch break, then came back to the robotics room and the auton was completely not working.
My luck with it only pre-firing in Elimination matches is astonishing.
Should the vex v5 gps sensor be renamed to the vex fps sensor (field positioning system) because it is not global
- Yes
- No

The g actually stand for game, not global.
I would love the confusion from people wondering why vex made a first person shooter
I wonder what frames per second it would run at?
Next year VEX will be thrilled to sell you their new FPGA enabled V5ooo brain with 300GB of RAM to handle the natural language neural net programming.
It will be a must to have in order to win the trophy next season.
But the team programmer will be replaced by the position of the prompt engineer, who will spend half of the season convincing your robot that you are not playing battle bots and it is ok to drive out from the home corner of the field onto the neutral tiles.
what is the purpose of those things anyways?
But why would you actually need something like that?? lol
If you can’t get a wrench in somewhere to tighten a screw/nut this thing will save you like a good 5 minutes of struggling
I’m not sure if the best way to post this, but I present:
The Presidents Compete in VRC Spin Up!
lmao this is good
Best 3 minutes of my life I’ve spent watching a video in a good while.
I am thrilled to report that today is March 19th, meaning it is Noah’s (5062X) uninteresting cake day, and @Illyana MASSIVE EPIC HUZZAH PARTY cake day.
Unfortunately, these only pertain to the old, boring, wasteland forums where I can not celebrate such a momentous occasion. All I can do now is indefinitely mourn the passing of something so special, but I will always celebrate the time we had together.
When you realize you have 1 week till you are no longer in VRC:

Sadly my vrc time is already over. The high school I will be attending has frc instead.
Bro I get you. I am also leaving vex. It took me a while to figure out what to do in my free time. I literally could not think of anything for ages.
did i miss something dan posted? I don’t understand this
It’s an “inside joke” from the Worlds opening ceremony.
Go to 59:38 https://www.vexworlds.tv/#/viewer/broadcasts/opening-ceremonies-vrc-hs-nfmuvzqjtpm4tp4vbqxz
it’s better out of context so here’s the quote
“I knew i had something special. I knew I had you[the students/competitors]. You will never fail to send a tingle up my spine…”
I’m pretty sure this was probably scripted, so I fail to comprehend how he (or someone else) wrote that down, looked at it, and was like “yeah that’s perfectly okay, I see absolutely no problems with this whatsoever”.
Bro, I was gonna clip that and post it on the official 7996B yt lol, you’re so quick
I don’t know what’s spinning but it’s clearly a flywheel
Well, you can launch spacecraft from Ringworld by just jumping over the wall. So yes.
After seeing this I googled what book this was and tbh it seems kind of interesting.
I may be getting one if my exp system I have at home runs out of ports ![]()
The lower end of the bell curve will pretend that they are the higher end though…
Me personally I like direct 600 on 4"
One year later, here we are again. The annual hunger games must resume. Sadly, last year’s victor (RIP @insert_code) hasn’t posted since December, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to run it this year. It seems to me that @RoboJoe should be the next one in line to run it as he ran it last year. @RoboJoe Do you accept the responsibility (unless, of course, @insert_code appears)?
Is there a sign up for participating in the forum’s hunger games? ![]()
just make up the results yourself. Will probably do better than that website anyways
“Dan Mantz accidentally falls into some gigantic gears”
but who do we employ for making up results? since we’re probably all gonna be biased…
Well we could use the hunger games website, but change the names and the deaths.
This is unrealistic i would never get a kill irl
Not only did you take over the Hunger Games hosting from FRC973, you also killed him off… ![]()

Ah, I think we’ve seen how this one plays out before…
Ayyyyy, I made it into the hunger games this year ![]()
Grant Cox has been killed but there are a concerning amount of deaths that are not Tony Norman…
Though it might well be more climactic to see him defeated at the very last part. But that’s subjective opinion
I honestly like this one more i got 3 kills
When does the next part get posted?
wtf that can’t be right
I did lots of stealing on this one
still no kills though
Summary



tony got killed because he had no supplies

Golf won the game even if he dies tommorow
Me with OrangeMan, Grant Coc, and DRow.
W alliance
Edit: nevermind DRow killed me
I’m honoured to be chosen as one of the tributes. I think I would have put up a better fight than that though…
This is the highlight of my vex career ong
Y’all wildin on this forum
Well, worked for 7686B, didn’t it?
Definitely worked out for us, but we didn’t even ask lol, we had three separate teams come up and ask if we would accept… we were 26th, ain’t no way we were declining anyone

What is this? Was this a thread on vf? I have not been on there in a while
How to set up c-channels for a drivetrain.
I know I’m super late to this, but I love that on the day that literally nothing happens I’m just like,

and I die.
Vex forum mods didn’t approve this post ![]()
I just want to say that I have serious safety concerns regarding the new vex iq pneumatics. I don’t believe that I would ever purchase this product for such a reason. It is a well established fact that colored pneumatic tubing (blue in this scenario) is less safe then black pneumatic tubing. I can’t believe that vex would use blue pneumatic tubing instead of black tubing when black tubing is simply a safer option with no downsides.
Its just vex censoring criticism againat them.
Again
Unpopular opinion here, but I kinda see why vex doesn’t allow colored tubing, because there’s no way for them to regulate whether or not third party tubing is actually rated for 100psi, and vex doesn’t want robot’s exploding mid match (also they want more money). however, I don’t get why we haven’t at least gotten red tubing as that is the color for the newer line of parts.
Problem is, teams just buy black third party tubing for 1/10 the price.
As a previous VF mod, I will say that they most likely didn’t approve it because the safety concerns, not the snark about color.
No need to cause a stir about safety when safety is not at all an issue (can confirm, worked there when IQ pneumatics were in development and the engineer who designed it is one of my best friends)
It’s a lot easier to investigate all the black pneumatic tubing from 3rd party resellers than it is to investigate all colors of pneumatic tubing from all resellers.
Was more just pointing out the fact that GDC made colored tubing illegal for VRC based solely on the argument that different colors were potentially less safe.

In reference to G2M undergoing server maintenance at the same time Vex Forum was shut down.
@kedas’s fault. it was completely coincidental.
[] better usually.
][ better for skirts and rizzing up timmy
Vex teams when they play against their favorite vex team

I did this at states.
We were second in skills (194), Won design, and of course state champs.
that was a day to remember.
I don’t really have a picture to go with it, but that feeling when you like a post on the forums then later realize you shouldn’t have but you can’t unlike it anymore
Yeah, I’ve heard lovely things about him. I’ve also heard his friends are great people too!
I can’t think of one scandal that Grant Cox let alone IFI has been involved in. You don’t see that a lot with big cooperations these days.
Lets hope Vex remains a safe space for students to show off thier creativity and teamwork skills for years to come!
I was hoping someone would bring this up.
This man has been scarred by something…
can you post a link to the vex café? i cant find it on vf
Here’s the post that started it.
https://www.vexforum.com/t/cursed-images/69367/5262
It’s still there. Café Vex - Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill - VEX Forum
oh, thats why i couldn’t find it. its café vex, not vex café. thanks
Just one request. Please just leave it dead it only ever caused harm
The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget the café vex incident of '22
Protobot CAD of the rubber band launcher goes crazy
two corners ( assuming far side corner is inside red PVC pole)…
since near side under net plane…
Let me know if I got it wrong … Have not seen this first hand … yet.
When my team spent a week on programming for a comp and its perfect but this is how it acts during skills:
Me: *Opens onshape*
My laptop fan:

What can I tell you @Gigahertz.t?
I am not sure about others, but to understand the reason you don’t see many happy memes from me…
""
You will need to travel back in time to Nov 2022 when vexforum was thrown all the way back into 1984 and this forum was created…
Start by reading these:
[cw: sexual harassment] Open Letter to the REC Foundation
[cw: sexual harrasment] Dan Mantz and Tony Norman Sexually Harassed Me
So, this is a picture of me…
Happy INTERGALACTIC cake day to @Illyana on the old (dum dum) forum. It’s a day I love to celebrate, but it will never be the same ![]()
