1 GETTING STARTED AS A VIQC TEAM COACH/MENTOR RICK TYLER ROBOT MESH Robot Mesh, all rights reserved
2 WHAT COACHES NEED TO KNOW How do I find what I need to know? The kids want to go to competitions, but I don t know anything about it Do I ever get an evening off? How do I survive the season? How do we get to the state championship? How do we get to Worlds?
3 PRIMARY ADVICE: DON T PANIC Being a VIQC coach is not (usually) fatal The kids build the robots, not you You have done harder things than this Thousands have gone before you, the path is already there
4 TOPICS Organizations Getting started VIQC 101 Using robotevents.com Getting your team rolling Buying parts and storing them How does a VEX IQ Challenge season work?
5 ORGANIZATIONS Robot Mesh VEX distributor and robot software publisher Local competition supporter and VEX event partner VEX training company Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) Non-profit that runs the various VEX education programs Runs robotevents.com Offers new-team grants: VEX Robotics Makes VEX EDR and VEX IQ robot parts TSA Technology Student Assn. Uses the current VIQC game in its middle school program
6 ORGANIZATIONS: CONTACTS VEX product questions: Robot Mesh, Competition questions: your REC Foundation regional support manager, VEX product technical support: VEX Robotics at from 8-5, Central Time, or
7 ORGANIZATIONS: KEY WEBSITES Content Web Link Search for (Google) Register teams and register for events General information on VEX competitions Game for this season Ringmaster game manual This is in the handout! Official rules questions Qualifying for state and world championships link.vex.com/docs/vexiq-ringmaster/gamemanual /download Register vex IQ team REC Foundation Vex IQ Ringmaster (roboticseducation not vexrobotics) Use link Use link Use link
8 GETTING STARTED TO DO ITEMS Divide your students into teams (3-5) Register your teams on Robot Events (robotevents.com) Plan parts purchase from Robot Mesh
9 GETTING STARTED TO DO ITEMS II Register for tournaments on Robot Events Get your students writing an engineering notebook from day 1 Prepare STEM Research Project Prepare for event Attend the event Work on the robots and prepare again Attend more events!
10 VIQC 101 NEW GAME EVERY YEAR Each year at VEX Worlds, RECF announces the new game This year: VEX Ringmaster
11 VIQC 101 VEX RINGMASTER VIDEO
12 VIQC 101 THE GAME ELEMENTS The field permanent item, buy it once, use it forever, $199 The Ringmaster game kit game changes every year, this is the kit for , $100
13 VIQC 101 REGISTRATION There are two types of registration in VIQC: Register your teams for the season Once a season (May-April) Your first team is $150 and includes a license plate, game element, VEX Engineering Notebook, maybe other stuff Your additional teams are $100 each You can add extra teams at any point of the season (before state championship, usually in early March) Once your teams are official, register them for local events
14 VIQC 101 TEAM NUMBERS Your team number is yours forever Renew the same number every season Other teams know you by your team number Your number is your ID your school or club Team 1001 Each individual team gets a letter: 1001A, 1001F, 1001X Ask about the secret trick to get a cool team number
15 VIQC 101 TEAM IDENTITIES It is a good idea to have a club nickname. Here are some samples: Wild Eagles (Team #10920) Forklifts (#221) Coebotics (#10465) Transformers (#11094) Cobra (#4713) O Bots (#6775) N*Robotics (#11913) St. Matthew (#86207) Highland Junior (#3228) Riverside Rogues (#9167) Vexy and We Know It (#86208) Xploding Llama (#13586)
16 VIQC 101 THE EVENT Most are one day, usually Saturday Usually from 7:30 2:00 or 3:00 What goes on: Teamwork challenge Robot skills (combination of programming and driver skills) Team judging
17 VIQC 101 ROBOT INSPECTION Before a robot can play at an event, it has to pass inspection See the VEX IQ Ringmaster manual for details on the robot construction rules
18 VIQC 101 A TYPICAL VIQC EVENT AGENDA Set up, the evening before 7am Volunteers check-in, volunteer training 7:30am Team check-in and inspection starts 9:30am Driver s meeting and opening ceremonies 10-12am Teamwork matches, skills matches, judging 12-1pm Lunch 1-2pm Teamwork matches, skills matches 2:15pm Finals Teamwork matches 2:30pm Trophy ceremony for all awards 3pm Clean-up
19 VIQC 101 TEAMWORK MATCHES A quasi-round robin where a computer puts robots into teams of two You work together to get the highest possible score Your partner changes every match Typically, each team will get 5-7 Teamwork matches
20 VIQC 101 TEAMWORK RANKINGS A team s ranking is the sum of all of its scores in the Teamwork Challenge Qualifying matches The team s lowest scores are not counted. From the game manual: One out of every four (4) Qualifying Matches will not count towards the rankings. If an event has between four (4) and seven (7) Qualifying Matches per team, then the lowest score for each team will not be counted. If an event has between eight (8) and eleven (11) rounds, then the two lowest scores for each team will not be counted. If an event has twelve (12) or more rounds, then the three lowest scores will not be counted. Example: Team 123 played in six qualifying matches, scoring 22, 39, 17, 22, 35 and 33 The ranking total throws out the lowest score (17) so the ranking score for this team would be 151. This can confuse spectators, so be prepared to explain this to puzzled parents
21 VIQC 101 TEAMWORK FINALS The top 10 teams are paired up (#1 with #2, #3 with #4, etc.) Each pair gets one more Teamwork match Whoever gets the highest score in the Finals wins the Teamwork challenge Some events may have more or fewer than 10 teams in the Finals Read the rules for tie breaking. It can get complicated
22 VIQC 101 ROBOT SKILLS CHALLENGE Two parts: Programming Skills 1 robot on the field, 60 seconds to score as many points as possible in autonomous (no drivers!) Driver Skills 1 robot on the field, 60 seconds to score as many points as possible in the control of two drivers (30 seconds each) Total Robot Skills score is calculated by adding the best Programming and Robot skills scores for a team together
23 WORKING WITH ROBOTEVENTS.COM Register teams Look for VIQC events Look for workshops Register for events Run your own tournament
24 GETTING YOUR TEAM(S) ROLLING STRUCTURING YOUR TEAMS Minimum students is 2 per team, most teams have 3-5, any number above 1 is legal Students divide roles: captain, build, STEM project, engineering notebook, programming, drivers One team member may have multiple roles
25 GETTING YOUR TEAM(S) ROLLING PLANNING YOUR SEASON Most teams play at 2 or more events, plus state and world championships. Sign up soon! Once events fill up, that s it Try to play at least once before Christmas, if there is an event available Don t be afraid to travel
26 BUYING PARTS, GETTING STARTED Classroom use or limited budget the VEX IQ Super Kit is a good choice - $330 Add: VEX IQ Foundation Add-On Kit ($80) VEX IQ Competition Add-On Kit ($100) That is ~$510, and includes what you would need for a good competition robot
27 GOING BEYOND THE CLAWBOT Building the VEX IQ Clawbot is a great way to learn about the kit You want to go beyond that for the competition if you can
28 BUYING PARTS: WHAT S NEXT? Once your students get started, they will let you know what they need Colored parts identify your team by building with one of nine different colors Extra batteries and chargers Where do smart teams buy their VEX parts? Robotmesh.com!
29 STORING YOUR PARTS After 10+ years, coaches are still searching for the perfect solution
30 STORING PARTS THE VEX WAY The VEX IQ Storage Bin and Trays Bin with one tray is $30 Second tray is $10 One bin comes free with Super and Foundation kits you may have two already Good solution for lab OK for travel, but make sure lids cannot come off

Bring: Robots Controllers Batteries and chargers Engineering notebook Spare parts A PC to program on Water Snacks Lunch or lunch money Robot license plates Extension cord(s) and power strip(s) More batteries (controller and Brain) A sense of humor And be prepared for inspection!
38 VIQC SUMMER The season starts at VEX Worlds in April April to August: Two theories: Take the summer off and start when school starts Spend the summer building prototypes and testing My advice would be to take the summer off
39 VIQC AUTUMN Make sure you go to at least one first-half event Competition is easier Some events are not full Easier to qualify for the state championships
40 VIQC WINTER After Christmas the top teams are tuning up for the state championship, and others are trying to qualify The season ends in late February, don t wait too long to sign up for tournaments Winter tournaments tend to be over-full The last event of winter is the state championship, which is (in most states) in late February or early March. Except Hawaii
41 VIQC AWARDS Qualifying and non-qualifying Qualifying awards means the winner of the award is invited to the state championship Non-qualifying awards do not affect invitations to the state championship Performance or judged An event s awards are posted in robotevents.com
