Just a note: Team 190 has been creating a fall competition named Savage Soccer for students that has expanded to some other local teams (and some not so local). It has been based on the Vex platform since 2002 (3 years before FVC!) and is obviously much closer to what is now FTC than FRC, but their archive could be handy when looking for inspiration.
