I have been a part of FIRST for four years now and have dealt with both ends of the stick on this. Last year as Katie mentioned we had both on our robot. Now, I will say that inches can almost be easier to deal with cuz then when you have drawings of parts they most likely will all be in inches in the format of 1.125 or 1.274 or some thousandths of an inch format, no converting between cm and mm and what not, but I have also grown up on inches now. Just my thoughts, take it easy all.
