Re: [FTC]: FTC vexmetal
Am I correct then when I read your answer above that we can use Vex chassis parts, motors, gears and wheels in lieu of Tetrix? If so, that will allow us to build an affordable competition robot using the FTC control system/phon es, electricals versus a purchase of over $1000. total for control system andTetrix kit(s). We've got a large amount of Vex parts and metal for our classroom robotics STEM program. Being able to use this makes gives me less heartburn as I jockey very limited funds for both FTC and FRC this year. I just can't see not using what we have on hand before expending a lot of money on duplicate (style) parts.
Your thoughts please?

Thanks!
