There are also relaxed rules on sensor electronics, so you can add Arduino type boards to do off board processing. You also can build / machine components out of polycarb blocks and hefty metal items. There are about 80 teams and growing. Two biggest areas are New Zealand with about 8 teams and the 2011 Championship along with Mexico with 10 teams. STEMRobotics supports a PA team KTOR and a FL team CAKE.

See the VEX site and forums for more details.
How much does these competitions cost? Like entry fees and materials for the VEX bots?
