Agreed, I've started both programs and the competition element is very important. FLL has not really updated their competition format in a long time.

Driving is important ! I'm surprised the EV3 and FLL have not focused on this.
A simple set of game rules for spectators and kids also is very important.

VEXiq is a new American company (IFI) platform, I have faith that the IFI engineers and the support staff will get the bugs worked out.

EV3 is on the 3rd generation and has more stability, however I don't know who is on the Lego staff and I'm not certain if they will support me at a competition when my kit breaks?
