Re: Quitting FRC for Vex?

I can see FTC teams switching to Vex, simply because they are similar.
My old team is considering a full switch to Vex. Their primary motivation is that they can run 4-6 vex teams for the cost of a single FRC team which gets more of the 40 students involved in the nitty-gritty design. Additionally longer build season allows for a more relaxed pace. No bag and tag rules make it more attractive as well.

I'm not a huge fan of 100% Vex, but it makes sense from some perspectives.
