Re: Team Update 4
Turf wars solve nothing.
When I first heard about the minibot being Tetrix-based, of course I was upset after spending hours and hours working with VEX and building a very successful program through it. I was also upset because FTC's presence in Canada is slim to none, and I thought every team would jump on the free Tetrix kits available on I will not compare the two kits here, as my opinion is biased to VRC due to the extensive work I've put in with it.
I'm happy FIRST is trying to expose more students to STEM programs, and I always have been. I'm disappointed in the politically-heavy way they're doing it.
Regardless, my team's minibot will have VEX stickers proudly all over it, not to say we like VEX more, but to prove that we're about expanding not just the FIRST program, but all STEM programs.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
