VEX seems like a bad value proposition to me. I'd much rather my students learn about design and the manufacturing of your design than "let's buy a specific set of parts and be limited by that". My students build a completely customized robot using a combination of 3D printed, CNC'd and manually milled parts after being designed from the ground-up in CAD. VEX is cool but students in more customizable programs learn a lot more and in turn become more inspired.
