I friend and I (both on FVC 3053) just competed in Robot Ramble for Science Olympiad. Ourselves included about a full 1/3 of the robots at the competition were made of Vex. Last year we were the only ones to have a Vex robot. The kit is definetly catching on.
I am contemplating bringing some FVC literature with me to the NJ State Science Olympiad tournament to spread the word
I was curious if anyone else here that does Science Olympiad has noticed the amount of Vex, and if so I urge them to spread the word!
