But that's just my opinion.
If you are paticipating in the FRC program, the name of your program is the FIRST Robotics Competition; like it or not, "Competition" is part of the name of the program.
There is no such thing as a "Vex Team" in FIRST. Vex refers to the Vex Robotics Design System, the parts that are used to make the robot. The program is called FIRST Vex Challenge.
FIRST LEGO (capitalized) League is the name of the program for 9-14 year olds.
