Re: Are the VEX kits worth buying?

I think these are an excellent bridge between FRC and FLL, it sticks with the simple complexity of legos (yes it's an oxymoron, but it describes lego perfectly), while advancing into working with custumizable parts. I personally am looking into buying a set, and I think the kit is a great resource for FRC teams, as well as a good introduction to creating specificly modeled parts for teams in between FLL and FRC. I looked at them quite a bit at nationals, and we're working out the details of having them at IRI (don't quote me there, I don't know the specifics). I hope someone starts a VEX team near me!
