So I was wondering why there is not a website for the other types of competitions like VEX or FTC? I understand that these competitions are not as big as the FRC one is but we are still deserving in our own right. Vex works year round to their competitions for the next year is released the day of the world championship match. FTC works from September until April so its not like there is not enough competition to get a badge that keeps track of a teams record.
Can someone please give me some insight on why there is not a website that records the other robotics competitions out there?

As Picone said, no one has made one yet.
But that is only part of it. FRC has match data stored online, the FMS automatically reports to FIRST's servers and instantly updates the webpage data. FTC does not seem to do this. You can't pull yearly records about performance or even pull data about WHO was at an event.
Compare

with any FTC event.
Notice the FRC event has standings and match results and team lists? Note how the FTC event doesn't? At the moment it is not possible to pull the data because the data is not publicly available.
As for VEX:
http://robotevents.com/pan-pacific-v...ionship-1.html They don't seem to have much data either.
FLL is an entirely different beast because team numbers are not static like they are for FRC, each year you get a new number and this makes tracking them extremely difficult.
TL;DR - There is not conspiracy against FTC/FLL/VEX just the resources aren't there for people to pull from.
