Thank you!

You need to purchase parts separately from vexrobotics.com or another vendor (you want the VEX EDR line for VRC competitions). There is no Kit of Parts in VEX. The control system alone will run you $400. I would estimate that to be competitive is anywhere from $1500-2500 dollars in parts, although a lot can be reused year to year.
The competitions themselves are definitely a lot more low key than FIRST events, but they can be a good option for teams that don't have the resources to pursue FRC, or as a training ground for up and coming members.
