Re: [FTC]: What could replace Vex in FTC?
Right now there are allot of robot base platforms that are on the scale of the vex system. But, they are not complete systems. Vex and Lego's are one of the few that offer complete integrated solutions. I always thought Vex was expensive for what it was until I looked at some other free form robotics hardware platforms. Until another company puts together an integrated packaged system on the vex scale I wouldn't want to switch to another platform. First has to think about the supply and distribution of any platform they choose. IFI has solved this problem for them. I do have several issues with the vex system that IFI could fix with not to much effort, But I don't feel like ranting right now.
