Do Vex/Vex IQ students/teams struggle with burnout? Honest question here.

Mike,
last year we had 8 VEX/VEX MS/VEX IQ teams. Many of our teams built multiple robots throughout the season in hopes of improving their robots. More than half of them were completely different than their original designs at the start of the season which competed in at least 1 event.
Generally speaking, there was no student/mentor burnout. More than 1/2 of our High School students that do VEX also do FRC. Even with that, no burnout.

However, if we tried to do that for FRC, I would guess that student/mentor burnout would definitely take place. This is why I dont believe VEX is a good comparison with respect to building multiple robots for FRC with respect to resources, time spent, and the amount of energy needed.
