tying together FIRST, VEX, and FLL

I will start out by asking, is FIRST getting expensive? Our team is barely able to keep up with the price of entering FRC let alone building a robot. Last year we participated in VEX and the students seamed to like it just as much as FRC. I was wondering if any other teams were in the same situation. It is undecided weather or not our team will compete in FRC next year but it is almost definite that we will be in VEX.

With this said, should FRC be moved to the college level and VEX be for high school? I would still say that the FRC should allow high schools participate if they want, but with the money that is needed to operate a FRC team, I think a college could bear the load better than a high school.

Just my thoughts
