Two separate things. The Vex Robotics Kit is similar to the IFI Robovation kit but includes upgraded parts and RC equipment. Details will be released after the FRC National event, but the kit is pretty cool.
The Vex Robotics Competition at the FRC National event is a mini-comp using these new kits. The challenge is a scaled-down version of last year's FRC game. Teams that are participating each received four kits, which they are in the process of using to build a robot for the competition. The structure of the competition is exactly the same as the FRC competition, just on a smaller field with smaller robots.
