VEX ROBOTICS

2017 Contest
The focus of this contest is for the team members to be able to think on their feet.  Two robots will compete at a time on separate courses.  Each course will be known ahead of time but will have at least one variable.  This value of this variable will be disclosed at the start of the round.  The competitors will have to calculate the time it will take them to complete each course.  Points will be given for how close to the predicted value they hit.
