'''Using VEX to Supercharge your FRC Team'''
''by Robotics Resource Center (WPI)''

Many teams wish that they could test their strategies earlier in the season rather than at the competition. This presentation shows the method used by FRC Team 40 to decide upon a design for their robot. The method used is called mini FRC, which is basically a miniaturized version of FRC created with VEX kits.

The [http://thinktank.wpi.edu/resources/97/2006CON_Vex_to_Supercharge_FRC_Larochelle_Griffith.ppt PPT Presentation] covers the key issues.  There is also a good video that is identified in the presentation that [http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/MiniFRC/Team_40_Mini_FRC.wmv shows robots under construction.]
