Dang it, don't make me pull out the emphatic Dave Lavery quote that chastises any and everyone who isn't focused on making all STEM-education/inspiration programs just as wildly successful as they all possibly can be.
VRC, FTC, BEST, BotBall, FRC, are not (had better not be) in competition with one another. They are all tiny compared to what is needed.
[SOAPBOX]
When talking to someone about STEM programs, graciously and professionally tell them about all of them, and at the end, once they are fully informed, if you want, explain why one program or another is your personal favorite.
When volunteering to make a program more successful than it already is, do it because all should be successful, not to exclude, harm or "beat" a different program.
