Challenge teams will be able to access. Teams may also use their
existing kits from previous years' competitions. Things may change in the future, but for now the Vex Robotics Design System is the official tournament kit.

We are excited to launch this new FIRST program sure to engage a greater
number of students.
Very vexing!

From reading this I understand that the VEX control system will stay for this year, but it will likely not stay for long.
The reason for this might be because it is hard for FIRST to switch from the VEX control system to something else on such a short notice. But with another year they will be able to.
The reason for the name change may be because VEX will go bye bye soon.

i doubt that the reason for the name change is because of the meaning of the work vex. But i guess it could be.

just my thoughts.
