Re: tying together FIRST, VEX, and FLL
The important thing is that there is now a growing viable option to FRC. Teams that in the past have imploded under the stress of FRC now can pull back and have the option of doing the less stressful VEX. It's still a win because they are staying in the First Org. Students are still being exposed and challenged with technology. Vex with it's quick prototyping as opposed to fabrication Lends it's self to games that are more autonomous. So much of a teams effort with FRC is in the design and fabrication that the programming tends to suffer. This is probably the last year for our team and FRC. We have 2 VEX kits and will most likely step back to VEX next year. The goal should be to Grow First and expose as many high school students to the First Ideals. Which they participate in doesn't matter.
