So this confirms there is only an age cap on the top and the cutoff at the bottom is up to the coach/mentors discretion.

So do VEX, not really a limit on the ages (since you can do VEX as a College competition).
I loved the comment about middle school kids taking on and beating high school kids. It's all about an how inspired the roboteers are. One of our best teams this year were doing their first year in VEX from FLL. They knew lots of robot stuff from FLL, this year was a metal working year. Next year? All bets are off.
And I love the progression. Our VEX teams get roboteers that know how to do autonomous programming, it's all there is in FLL. VEX gets them and teaches the righty-tighty,lefty-loosey skills and a huge dose of mechanical physics and then sent them off to FRC. Where they do power tools and much bigger robots.
What? Preaching to the already converted? Oh right, forgot where I was.
