Correct. It's called VEX U. I've been apart of it for the last two years and while it isn't exactly like FRC, it's pretty close. It's a place to practice and apply what engineering skills you learn in the classroom. Some universities are actually using VEX materials to teach some basic concepts so why not use the extra parts and start a VEX U team? It's slowly growing but it does have a lot of support.

It's been great for me since I mentor an FRC team that does VEX. We're able to work together and learn from one another.
