As part of the RoboEducators (http://www.roboeducators.org/), we are planning to run five Robotics Boot Camps for teachers using the Vex this summer. There will be five of these camps across the US. I will be running mine at my Contra Costa College, where I teach. We will expect these ten teachers to build teams and then compete in a local competition. These teams would naturally also fit in with whatever plans FIRST has for Vex.
Oh, I forgot to answer. Yup, I sure think they are worth buying. My team has gone though dozens of prototypes by this point. It is a wonderful vehicle for exploration and creativity.
