Re: Starting a VeX team.

I currently am a high school junior and was on FVC-34 this year as well as WildStang. VEX on our team was offered to students like me who were more involved in the buisness end of the high school FIRST team. I thought it was amazing, being able to build a robot in a few weeks and compete it with friends.
I guess what I am trying to say is that it shouldnt be limited to Frosh-Soph team members, just becuase someone is 17 and 18 doesn't mean that they are to old. But then again I understand that it is not fair for high schoolers to compete against younger middle schoolers.
Then again VEX is also cheaper than FRC so it would allow more schools to get involved.
But still my input is from my own experience... I think VEX should be open to all high schoolers and middle schoolers.
