The 2018-19 VEXIQ season got of with a bang at the Maple Lane “Next Level” event on Friday 11 January. Event was set up in the Gym and with three game fields we blasted through 38 matches.
A number of teams were able both pull of hanging (Shadow Knights & Dominating Lizards; Boeing & Wall-E; Telsa & Slthering Snakes; Google and Tesla) some were close to the high hang points.
Highest match score of the day was Kaloke and Boeing pulling off a combined score of 14.
At the end of the night it was Seeds 1 and 2, Claymont’s Boeing and Google at 12 points squeeking by sister team Tesla and the Carrcroft Bearded Dragons.
Build award went to Carrcroft’s Tiny Turtles for their rear balance wheel set up and their “antlers” that let them knock off the yellow hubs. Judges award went to Claymont Lenovo for their forks with gears on the leading edges to maximize moving hubs over the blue barriers.
