On one hand, it would be a lot of fun to compete.

On the third hand, living vicariously through some kids is also not the way to go; the kids need to do the work and get the benefits.

Maybe we'll start a team next year with kids. Showing up at an all-HS competition wouldn't be entirely fair (though I'm sure we wouldn't win).

If you go to the Vex Forums there is a section for competitions - one forum is for the FIRST Vex Challenge but there are other threads for other competitions including college competitions.
This is good, but there doesn't seem to be any canadian stuff for now. Oh well, I'll find a FRC team next year that wants to start a vex team as well. I don't mind working with HS kids, but it'd be so nice to be able to not have to go to a school in order to work on or program your entry.
