I still volunteer for FTC, but it just doesn't seem to have it 'together' yet. That became abundantly obvious to us as we started our FTC team, and we actually had a discussion about it with the high-level FIRST HQ contact person* that had answered us about the problem they'd caused. His/her answer was (no joke), "well, we can't compete with VEX".
I'm in no way disagreeing or agreeing with this statement (so don't read too much into my question), but I am just wondering what you mean by FTC being less "professional" and "together".
