VEX Robotics for teenagers

Hi everybody!

I will start a new project in junior school, I'm referring to a kids from 11 - 15 years old. I think VEX could be a very good option to teach/learn Robotics in this project. I know LEGO has a lot of kids experience and VEX could be better for youth (15+ years to college) not for teenagers, well, I think so.

I have seen on more forums that LEGO is cheaper than VEX, but it's not true; If you compare "Autonomous Control Starter Bundle with Cortex" on $370 vs "LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT Base Set" is on $279.95.

Could you give any advice/tip for Robotics in teenagers?

Thanks.
