I have competed in one Canada FIRST event, watched a couple of others, and competed for four years in FIRST. There is no comparison between the two competitions. FIRST has over 600 teams; Canada FIRST has maybe 20. FIRST has something like 18 competitions; Canada FIRST has 1. Canada FIRST has poor organization and unreliable control systems (one year they had to give up midway through the competition and switch to tether). FIRST is simply on a much, much higher level than Canada FIRST.
