Okay... ...well and good... Now comes another question.

Why are the team numbers given to FIRST Vex Challenge teams FRV-##?

From HERE we see:

Quote:
FRC = FIRST Robotics Competition
FLL = FIRST Lego League
FRV = FIRST Robotics Vex
And in fact this exact queston is raised in that same thread above here, but still not a satisfactory answer to my mind.

FIRST issued the FRV-## numbers. Why not FCV-##? Don't Know.
