Most of it is going to depend on participation, and what seems to fit well with this program.

VEX does indeed need to grow a bit more. I don't think people recognize its potential. Our team has a satellite VEX team at Perry Meridian Middle School that I was a part last year, and while there are many highschool VEX teams, I think we found that the middle school age group is more than capable especially with the mentoring of high school students. Labeling VEX as middle school robotics could help bridge the gap between FLL and FRC. On a scale, FVC I think should be between FLL and FRC, not closer to FRC as I see it now.
