Re: tying together FIRST, VEX, and FLL
Our team has been doing FRC for at least 5 years now and this past year we got into the whole VEX deal which we are currently putting on hold for FRC. Our team also mentors FLL before the FRC season so we're doing all three with minimal funding. Our main source of income is still fundraising althogh we have been getting checks from sponsors.
Money wise FRC is very expensive but worth it. We work really hard just to get enough money to go and then when we go it is worth it.
Vex is also fun too and a lot less expensive. I got to see what VEX was all about last year at atlanta and I liked it. This way our robotics class gets to work on their own VEX robots along with our FRC.
I think our team likes doing both with a heavier focus on FRC.
