Re: Robotics after FRC

Quote:
I haven't seen VEX mentioned yet. I'm currently a college student mentoring a high school VEX team, and it works much better than FRC for me schedule-wise. Since the competition runs year-round, our team holds once-a-week meetings on the weekends, meaning that I don't have to sacrifice my school nights to come help out.

VEX also has a collegiate-level competition division you might be interested in, but I don't know much about it.
Not talking about mentoring but participating, does working on a VEX Collegiate team seem like you would be keeping to "in the box"? I've considered doing VEX in college next year, but feel like maybe that would be sticking with something I'm already too familiar with.

I've also been considering the C.A.R.D. competition but wasn't sure if it was still happening/planning to continue/how strong it was.

This is a great thread.
