Just out of curiosity, can anyone else that's been to both Vex and FIRST championships comment on their relative sizes. I'm having a hard time imagining a robotics championship that's substantially bigger than FIRST championships (which are already huge).

Also, as for comparative competition footprint, I'd think FRC regional would have a larger footprint than VEX events, given that FRC teams are generally larger and regionals probably host more teams.

Granted, I'm only familiar with FRC so if anyone else if familiar with both and could clarify, that would be nice.
