Please refrain from my program is better than yours type posts; as I have said several times each have pluses and minuses, it is up to each organization to make the decision of which is better for their goals.

I don't think this thread needs to generate into "mine is better" posts. But the thread subject is "quitting FRC for Vex" and reasons why teams might do so, so we will definitely be inviting comparisons between the two and evaluations of what you get for the money in each.
There are not many FRC teams to begin with in my city, and at least one of them has already converted fully to Vex, another has temporarily put their FRC program on hold and continuing with Vex, and another runs an FRC team but also runs Vex teams, and runs the local Vex kickoff and competition events at their school. I hope they'll continue with FRC as well, but if something has to get cut, you can see which it would be.
